These make up the corticobulbar tract: longer fibers (also efferents) from the primary motor cortex course downward to synapse with cell bodies in the sections of the spinal cord to produce movement of body parts. These fibers compose the corticospinal tract: fibers from spinal cord and cranial nerves also project upward and back to primary motor cortex (afferents) in a similar manner, association fibers, association fibers connect areas within the same hemisphere.
