Question
Chapter 10, Problem 8RC
Summary Introduction
To determine: Whether the given statement “Neurons descending in the corticospinal pathway control mainly trunk musculature and postural reflexes, whereas neurons of the brainstem pathways control fine motor movements of the distal extremities” is true or false.
Introduction: Neurons, also known as nerve cells are the fundamental unit of brain and nervous system. They are electrically excitable cells that aids in communication with neighboring cells through special junctions known as synapses. Sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons are the three types of neurons present in the nervous system.
