Question
which best describes the function of the corticospinal tract? carries efferent motor signals transmits pain and temperature sensations carries afferent sensory signals for vibration relays proprioceptive information
The corticospinal tract is a major motor pathway in the central nervous system. Efferent signals are motor signals sent from the brain to muscles. The other options describe functions of sensory tracts: pain/temperature is carried by spinothalamic tracts, vibration sensory signals and proprioceptive information are handled by dorsal column-medial lemniscus pathways.
