Correct answer: D. Temperature

  • A. Touch
  • B. Vibration sense
  • C. Muscle sense
  • D. Temperature

A hemisection of the spinal cord causes ipsilateral loss of vibration, position and fine touch, while pain and temperature are lost on the opposite side after the spinothalamic fibres cross. Therefore temperature is not lost on the lesion side.
