Card 11 / 29:
The location of somatosensation is based on the topographical map of sensory innervation. What does this mean?
Where spinal nerves innervate the skin is represented by “slices” of the body surface referred to as dermatomes. The fibers originating in each region are contained within the same spinal nerve, which relates to the perception of that localization.
