Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fast pathway, known as the dorsal column pathway, connects sensory fibers directly with the thalamus and then sends information to the sensory areas of the cerebral cortex. This pathway is responsible for transmitting touch, pressure, and proprioceptive information. The slow pathway, on the other hand, is the spinothalamic pathway and is responsible for transmitting pain and temperature sensations. Kinesthetic and vestibular senses are not directly related to these pathways.
