Axons that conduct impulses from the cerebrum to lower parts of the central nervous system (CNS) are called descending axons. These axons transmit motor commands and information from the brain down to the spinal cord and other lower regions of the CNS. They play a crucial role in controlling voluntary movement and coordinating various bodily functions.

What tract carries sensory impulses from the lower limbs and inferior body trunk?
Fasciculus gracilis
Is the cerebral cortex in the midbrain?
No, the Thalamus belongs to the Diencephalon. It makes up 80% of the Diencephalon
What are the motor system of the body?
Upper motor neuron cell bodies are situated in the motor cortex and project axons via the corticospinal tracts to the spinal cord. There they synapse in the anterior horn with lower motor neurons, which project axons via peripheral nerves that then contact muscle fibres at the neuromuscular junction. Lower motor neurons originating in the brain stem that control speech and swallowing (bulbar motor neurons), and lower motor neurons that originate in the spinal cord that control limb and respiratory muscles, may both be affected. Damage to various combinations of upper and lower motor neurons occurs in human amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
What are motor neuron diseases?
Motor neuron diseases are a group of progressive disorders involving the nerve cells responsible for carrying impulses that instruct the muscles in the upper and lower body to move
Where do upper neurons descend on lower neurons?
Movement is controlled by motor neurons that innervate muscles. Motor neurons can be classified by their location as upper motor neurons or lower motor neurons.Upper motor neurons have cell bodies in the somatosensory and motor cortex of the brain that send axons down to the spinal cord or brainstem. Upper motor neurons descend through the posterior limb of the internal capsule in the cerebrum, through the crus cerebri of the midbrain, through the basilar pons, through the medullary pyramids, crossing midline at the pyramidal decussation in the caudal medulla, and descending through the anterior and lateral corticospinal tracts of the spinal cord to terminate at their respective ventral horn levels. Corticobulbar fibers are upper motor neurons that innervate brainstem nuclei for cranial nerves. They descend through the genu of the internal capsule of the cerebrum to various brainstem cranial nerve nuclei or reticular formation nuclei that innervate brainstem cranial nerve nuclei.Lower motor neurons have cell bodies in the ventral horns throughout the spinal cord. These motor neurons receive excitation information from the upper motor neurons as well as a large amount of modulating input from a variety of other neuronal sources. For cranial nerves the lower motor neurons are located within the brainstem cranial nerve nuclei: occulomotor nucleus, trochlear nucleus, abducens nucleus, trigeminal motor nucleus, facial nucleus, spinal accessory nucleus, hypoglossal nucleus, & nucleus ambiguous.
What is the fiber tract that carries impulses to the cerebrum and then to the lower CNS called?
This fiber tract is called the projection tract.
Do lower motor neurons have their cell bodies in the brain and their axons in the ganglia?
brain and spinal cord
Which white matter tracts connect the cerebrum to the lower brain areas?
projection fibers
A deterioration in the myelin sheaths of motor axons to the lower leg would be expected to?
Cause leg pain and weakness
Which type of white matter fiber tract connects the cerebrum to lower centers like the spinal cord?
Projection Fibers
What part of the skull that forms the lower back of the head?
Honey, dat be yo cerebrum gurl.
What tract carries sensory impulses from the lower limbs and inferior body trunk?
Fasciculus gracilis

No, the Thalamus belongs to the Diencephalon. It makes up 80% of the Diencephalon
Is the medulla oblongatta part of the cerebrum?
The the lower part of the brain stem - medulla controls the heartbeat and breathing and other non-voluntary functions.
What is the larger proportion of the brain devoted to as we move from lower to higher animals?
When going from lower to higher animals a larger proportion of the brain is devoted to the cerebrum. The brain stem is made up of medulla and the cerebellum.
