Fill in the Blank QuestionFill in the blank question.The tracts of the spinal cord carry sensory information to the brain while tracts carry motor impulses from the brain to the periphery.

In descending motor pathways, such as the ventral and lateral corticospinal tracts, _________________ neurons originate in the gray matter of the brain and send long axons down a descending tract of the spinal cord. These axons synapse with ________________ neurons in the ventral horn of the spinal cord. The axons of these neurons will then exit the spinal cord and innervate the muscles or glands of the body.
