A

The motor cortex in the cerebral cortex to the Medullary pyramids.

42
Q

What is the main function of the corticobulbar tract?

A

primarily involved in carrying the motor function of the non-oculomotor cranial nerves

The are two tracts that make up the pyramindal tracts;

Corticobulbar Tract

&

Corticospinal Tract

The tracts are responsible for what motor innervation?
