The lobe of the brain where voluntary muscle movement is coordinated is known as the:
A
frontal.
B
occipital.
C
parietal.
D
temporal.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -[1] The frontal lobe, located anteriorly to the central sulcus, is responsible for voluntary motor function, problem-solving, attention, memory, and language. Located in the frontal lobe are the motor cortex and the Broca area.

Detailed explanation-2: -We can deliberately order the skeletal muscles to contract, which enables us to perform movements. These voluntary movements are commanded by the motor cortex, the zone of the cerebrum located behind the frontal lobe.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cerebellum. This is the back of the brain. It coordinates voluntary muscle movements and helps to maintain posture, balance, and equilibrium.

Detailed explanation-4: -The motor cortex corresponds to the precentral gyrus of the frontal lobe. It is responsible for planning, control, and execution of voluntary movements. It involves the primary motor cortex, supplementary motor cortex and premotor cortex.
