Question
Chapter 15, Problem 9RQ
Summary Introduction
To identify:
The three pairs of descending tracts make up the corticospinal pathway.
Introduction: The pathway which provides voluntary control over skeletal muscles is called as the corticospinal pathway. Pyramidal cells act as the beginner cells of the primary motor cortex.
The three pairs of corticospinal pathway are:
- The corticobulbar tracts.
- The lateral corticospinal tracts.
- The anterior corticospinal tracts.

Students have asked these similar questions
Describe and draw the spinocerebellar pathway, dorsal column-medial lemniscal pathway, spinothalamic pathway, and the lateral (pyramidal) corticospinal pathway for the transmission of information associated with the right foot. What information is transmitted by each pathway? (All pathways should be clearly illustrated on the same figure. You may take a picture of your artwork and paste it into your word document.)
which nerve plexus controls the diaphragm (breathing muscle)?
Which plexus contains the sciatic nerve?
Describe the functional problems that would be experienced by a person in which these fiber tracts have been cut: (a) lateral spinothalamic, (b) ventral and dorsal spinocerebellar, (c) tectospinal.
