somatic motor nuclei
Number 10 is showing an a descending tract for ________________ (Sensory axons or Motor axons)
motor axons
Sensory signals typically travel across three neurons from their origin in the receptors to their destination in the brain. The category of neuron that carries the signal to the thalamus is called:
second order neuron
Sensory signals typically travel across three neurons from their origin in the receptors to their destination in the brain. The category of neuron that carries the signal from the thalamus to the cerebral cortex is called:
