What is the fiber tract that carries impulses to the cerebrum and then to the lower CNS called?
The fiber tract that carries impulses to the cerebrum and then to the lower CNS is called the corticospinal tract. It is involved in voluntary motor control and starts from the primary motor cortex in the cerebrum and descends to the spinal cord.
What is the pathway of smell from the olfactory receptors to the brain?
The olfactory bulb is a small , match-head sized organ in the top of the nasal cavity,and is connected to hundreds of olfactory hairs, or cilia, which lie in a layer of mucous. These have receptor sites, and it is still not well understood how these work, but one theory is that the shape of the molecule (of the substance being smelt) and the way in which it locks onto the receptor determines the impulses sent to the brain. (the bulb is thought of as a direct extension of the brain) If this is true, it may help explain why with prolonged exposure to a smell, you will stop smelling it until you go outside and clear the nose and come back.The receptor sites become saturated with the molcules and stop sending nerve impulses.
The sense of smell is able to stimulate vivid memories because the olfactory tract passes through which part of the brain?
The olfactory tract passes through the limbic system, which is associated with emotions and memory. This connection allows smells to trigger powerful and vivid memories due to the strong link between olfaction and memory in this part of the brain.
Olfactory in a human?
The olfactory system in humans is responsible for the sense of smell. It involves receptors in the nose that detect different odors in the environment and send signals to the brain for interpretation. Humans can distinguish between thousands of different smells due to the complex interactions of these olfactory receptors.
What is the bundle of nerve fibers that send messages to the brain which interprets them?
The bundle of nerve fibers that send messages to the brain for interpretation is called the sensory pathway. These pathways carry sensory information from the peripheral nervous system to the brain where it is processed and interpreted.
Function of olfactory tract?
The olfactory tract is a bundle of axons connecting the mitral and tufted cells of the olfactory bulb to several target regions in the brain.
Fiber tract involved with olfaction?
The olfactory tract is the fiber tract involved with olfaction, responsible for carrying sensory information related to smell from the olfactory bulb to the olfactory cortex in the brain. This pathway allows for the recognition and interpretation of different odors.
Does the amygdaloid nucleus receive its afferent fibers from the olfactory tract?
Yes!
Nerve fibers of the olfactory tracts lead to?
The olfactory tract is split into medial and lateral. Their projections are to 5 different areas of the brain- anterior olfactory nucleus, olfactory tubercle, Piriform cortex, Amygdala, Entorhinal cortex The lateral tract originates from the olfactory epithelium separates into mitral cells and tuft cells. mitral cells synapses onto all 5 of the regions to ultimately synapse onto the orbitofrontal cortex via the thalamus or the frontal cortex. tufted cells on the other hand only synapse onto the anterior olfactory nucleus and the olfactory tubercle The medial or vomeronasal tract projects to mitral cells that synapse only to the Amygdala
What is the fiber tract that carries impulses to the cerebrum and then to the lower CNS called?
The fiber tract that carries impulses to the cerebrum and then to the lower CNS is called the corticospinal tract. It is involved in voluntary motor control and starts from the primary motor cortex in the cerebrum and descends to the spinal cord.
What is the origin of rubrospinal tract?
to convey impulses of equilibrium to anterior horn cells of spinal cord

What are the olfactory and non-olfactory components of limbic system?
oflactory components = olfactor bulb and tract + hippocampal formation + paraterminal gyrus + septum pellucidum + fornixnon-olfactory components = cingulate gyrus + parahippocampal gyrus
What tract carries sensory impulses from the lower limbs and inferior body trunk?
The spinothalamic tract carries sensory impulses related to pain, temperature, and crude touch from the lower limbs and inferior body trunk to the brain.
Which fiber tract carries impulses from the cerebrum to lower CNS areas?
The corticospinal tract carries impulses from the cerebrum to lower CNS areas, primarily to control voluntary movements throughout the body. It is involved in motor function and helps in coordinating muscle movements.
What tract conveys nerve impulses for crude touch and pressure?
spinothalamic, it is a somatosensory pathway
