Step-by-Step Solution

Solution 1

The dorsal spinothalamic neurons carry the haptic-proprioceptive information to the central nervous system (CNS). The ventral spinothalamic neurons carry the information of nociception to the CNS.

Thus, the blanks can be filled with dorsal spinothalamic; ventral spinothalamic.
