The signals for voluntary muscle movements originate in a band of tissue called the _____, which is located on the _____ lobe.
A)primary motor cortex; parietal

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The primary motor cortex is the region responsible for voluntary muscle movements and is located in the frontal lobe of the brain. The somatosensory cortex is responsible for processing sensory information and is located in the parietal lobe. The association area is responsible for higher cognitive functions and is typically found in the parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes. Therefore, the best choice is C, primary motor cortex located in the frontal lobe.
