In an ascending pathway, axons of the secondary neuron travel from the

A) receptor to the spinal cord.
B) receptor to the brain.
C) spinal cord through the brainstem to the thalamus.
D) thalamus to the cerebral cortex.
E) spinal cord to cerebellum.

Ascending Pathway

Neural paths that transmit sensory information from the body to the brain.

Secondary Neuron

A neuron that receives a synaptic input from primary neurons and transmits the signal to other neurons or muscles.

Thalamus

Large mass of gray matter that forms the larger dorsal subdivision of the diencephalon.
