Explanation:

Ascending tracts carry sensory information. First - order neurons have cell bodies in dorsal root ganglion (for spinal nerves) or cranial nerve ganglia (for cranial nerves). Second - order neurons receive input from first - order neurons. Their cell bodies are in the spinal cord (for spinal nerve - related pathways) or brain stem (for cranial nerve - related pathways). Third - order neurons have cell bodies in the thalamus.
