Answer:
<u>From the main motor cortex, Brodmann region 4 premotor areas and the primary somatosensory cortex .</u>
<u />
Explanation:
The corticospinal tract originates in many regions of the brain, including
- the motor regions,
- main somatosensory cortex
- pre-motor regions
The corticospinal tract allows for voluntary control of motor functions.
30% of the neurons in the corticospinal regions are found in the primary motor cortex. 40% are split up in several regions; the parietal lobe, somatosensory cortex and the cingulate gyrus.
The axon is a tube enclosed in and insulated by the myelin sheath. It serves as a link to impulses for certain neurons that often comprise axon hillocks that are junctions between the axon and the cell body.
