Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ventromedial cortico-brainstem-spinal tract interacts with multiple brainstem structures before descending to the spinal cord. These include the tectum (involved in visual and auditory processing), the reticular formation (involved in motor control and arousal), and the vestibular nuclei (involved in balance and eye movement). Therefore, the best choice is D, which includes all of the above brainstem structures.
