Loss of control over all involuntary movements.

Rebecca Mcguire · Answer 2

A. Loss of sensation to pressure and touch.

Explanation:

The Dorsal Column-Medial Lemniscus Pathway (DMLP) also known as the Posterior Column - Medial Lemniscus Pathway is the sensory pathway to the central nervous system. This system is involved in the recognition of the sensory simulations in the body, like the sense of touch and vibrations from the skin to the bones etc. Thus, it can be said that it is vital for the transmission of the sensations from different parts of the body. So, if the dorsal column is injured, then the sensation of pressure and touch will be lost.
