In physiological terms, when processing information the CNS and PNS are integrated into pathways; examples would include [[Motor Pathways - Anatomy & Physiology|motor pathways]] and [[Sensory Pathways - Anatomy & Physiology|sensory pathways]]. Motor pathways carry signals from the cerebellum to the skeletal muscles using upper and lower motor neurons connected via the [[Motor_Pathways_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology#Pyramidal_System_.28Corticospinal.29|pyramidal system]] or the [[Motor_Pathways_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology#Extrapyramidal_System|extrapyramidal system]]. Sensory pathways carry sensory information detected by peripheral nerves in an ascending path through the spinal cord to the higher levels of the brain. Types of general somatic sensation include pain, touch, temperature and kinaesthesia (conscious proprioception).
