Where is the sensory information from that enters the spinal cord at the posterior horn?

Sensory information that enters the spinal cord at the posterior horn primarily comes from peripheral sensory receptors located in the skin, muscles, and joints. These receptors detect various stimuli, such as touch, temperature, pain, and proprioception. The sensory neurons transmit this information via their axons, which enter the spinal cord through the dorsal roots, synapsing in the posterior horn before relaying the signals to higher centers in the central nervous system.
