Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cerebellum. This is the back of the brain. It coordinates voluntary muscle movements and helps to maintain posture, balance, and equilibrium.

Detailed explanation-2: -Located in the frontal lobe are the motor cortex and the Broca area. The motor cortex allows for the precise voluntary movements of our skeletal muscles, while the Broca area controls motor functions responsible for producing language.

Detailed explanation-3: -Voluntary muscles receive an electrical signal from the central nervous system via motor nerve cells that connect with individual muscle fibres to make them contract or relax. As the muscle contracts, it becomes thicker and shorter, thus pulling on the bone. As it relaxes, it lengthens again.

Detailed explanation-4: -All the voluntary actions of our body are controlled by the cerebrum. The cerebrum is the largest and the most prominent part of the brain.
