Question

axons in the ____________ (descending) tracts synapse on lower - motor neurons in the motor nuclei of several cranial nerves, and control skeletal muscles that move the eye, jaw, face, and some of the neck and pharynx muscles.

Explanation:

The spinocerebellar tracts are ascending tracts (not descending), so they are incorrect. The lateral corticospinal and anterior corticospinal tracts control muscles of the limbs and trunk. The corticobulbar tracts are descending tracts that synapse on lower - motor neurons in the motor nuclei of several cranial nerves and control skeletal muscles of the eye, jaw, face, and some of the neck and pharynx muscles.

Answer:

corticobulbar
