Sensory neurons-
- Dorsal column nuclei- Two-point tactile, vibration, stereognosis
- Pain, temp and light touch
- gelatinosa- nucleus proprius (Lateral spinothalamic or (ALS))
- Clarkes Column- unconscious proprioception (DSCT)
- Nucleus proprius- unconscious proprioception (VSCT)
- Intermediomedial dorsal- sympathetic sensory
Motor neurons-
- Ventral horn- somatic motor to striated muscles: Trunk and limbs
- Lateral horn- preganglionic sympathetic T-1 - L2 Smooth, cardiac and glands
- Preganglionic- parasympathetic S2 - S4 Smooth muscle and glands
