<span>Ian Waterman was able to sense pain and temperature because his spinothalamic pathway was intact, but could not feel touch and limb position because of damage to his lemniscus pathway. </span>

The lateral spinothalamic tract is a sensory pathway which carries sensory information like pain and temperature to the brain, across the thalamus. Free nerve endings which are located in the peripheral tissues are sensitive to cell damage. Those are primary neurons and they pass the sensory signal. Primary neurons synapse with secondary which are located in the spinal cord (white matter). These secondary neurons will ascend through the brainstem, medulla oblongata, pons and midbrain, until synapsing in the ventroposteriorlateral (VPL) nucleus of the thalamus. From the thalamus, the information is sent to cortex (somatosensory cortex).

Posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway is ascending spinal tract, carrying sensory information to the brain (sensory pathway). It conducts localized sensations of fine touch, vibration and proprioception (position sense) from the skin and extremities (muscles) to the central nervous system (cerebral cortex).

How do plants photosynthesize in winter? When they shed their leaves.​
butalik [34]

\Huge\green{\tt{✏Answer:}}

  • <em>Most trees do 'slow down' during winter, and deciduous trees that lose their leaves shut down photosynthesis entirely. Trees with needles (evergreen trees) that are retained over winter can actually photosynthesize during the winter.</em>

In terms of ecosystem stability and predator-prey interactions, what is the concern over declining krill populations
yKpoI14uk [10]

Declining krill populations will have catastrophic consequences for ecosystem homeostasis and it will increase the levels of phytoplankton.

<h3>What is ecosystem homeostasis?</h3>

The term ecosystem homeostasis makes reference to the state of equilibrium between different species in an ecosystem.

Krill are fundamental primary consumers in aquatic environments and they eat autotrophic phytoplankton.

In conclusion, declining krill populations will have catastrophic consequences for ecosystem homeostasis and it will increase the levels of phytoplankton.
