Question
Chapter 17, Problem 5WYL
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The elements of CNS that constitute the somatic motor pathways.
Introduction:
The motor pathways also called descending tracts, are formed from the cerebral nuclei, the cerebellum, descending projection tracts, and motor neurons. The motor neurons within these pathways either synapse directly on motor neurons in the CNS or on interneurons that in turn synapse on motor neurons
