Question

figure 15 - 2 the corticospinal pathway
use figure 15 - 2 to answer the following question:
identify the type of information that travels along the structure labeled \4.\
pain and crude touch sensations
fine touch to the cerebral cortex
proprioception to the cerebral cortex
visceral motor commands to smooth muscle
motor commands to skeletal muscles

Explanation:

The corticospinal pathway is responsible for motor functions. Structure 4 in the corticospinal pathway diagram is part of the pathway that sends motor commands. Pain, touch, and proprioception are sensory functions (eliminating first three options). Visceral motor commands go to smooth muscle (autonomic, not corticospinal). Corticospinal pathway (pyramidal tract) sends motor commands to skeletal muscles.

Answer:

motor commands to skeletal muscles
