, The Structure of Sensory Pathways
•Receptors(in the skin, tendons, joint capsules)

-First neuron (dorsal root ganglia, pseudounipolarneuron)

-Second neuron (posterior horn of spinal cord, medulla)

-Third neuron (thalamus)

•Primary sensory area (somatosensoryprojection cortex Broadman’sareas 3,1,2)

•Secondary sensory area (partially Broadmanareas 40, 43)

•Sensory associative areas (general sensory association cortex) (Broadman’sareas 5,
7)




Receptors
•Cerebral and spinal neurons are not activated by direct light, touch, sound stimulation

•Receptors: specialized structures that translate touch, chemical or light stimulation into
a signal that triggers a neuronal response

•Convergence and divergence varies depending on the receptors type, localization and
system’s requests for a certain location
