Final answer:

The trigeminal 3rd Order Neurons originate in the thalamus and project to the primary somatosensory cortex of the cerebrum.

Step-by-step explanation:

The trigeminal system in the head and neck carries somatosensory information from the face. It consists of three successive neurons.

The third-order neurons of the trigeminal pathway originate in the thalamus and project their axons to the primary somatosensory cortex of the cerebrum.
