Question
Answer
descending tracts   motor (efferent) tracts  
🗑
where efferent fibers originate from?   from motor nuclei (cranial nerves) or anterior horn cells spinal nerves?  
🗑
ascending tracts   sensory (afferent) tracts  
🗑
where afferent fibers ariginate from?   in cells outside of brainstem or spinal cord with sensory ganglia ( cranial nerves) or dorsal root ganglia (spinal nerves)  
🗑
