Select the Best Description for the Function of the Anterior

Question

Select the best description for the function of the anterior and posterior spinocerebellar tracts:
A) impulses for conscious proprioception and most tactile sensations
B) impulses for pain and temperature sensations
C) impulses for itch, tickle, crude touch and pressure sensations
D) impulses for subconscious proprioception
E) impulses for coordination of precise voluntary movements of the hands and feet

Accepted Answer

The anterior and posterior spinocerebellar tracts are primarily involved in carrying information about subconscious proprioception to the cerebellum. This information is crucial for the cerebellum to coordinate and fine-tune motor movements, but it is not consciously perceived.
