The Coordination of Groups of Skeletal Muscles is Driven by Activity

Question

The coordination of groups of skeletal muscles is driven by activity in the
A)cerebrum.
B)cerebellum.
C)thalamus.
D)hypothalamus.
E)medulla oblongata.

Accepted Answer

The coordination of groups of skeletal muscles is primarily controlled by the cerebellum. The cerebellum receives information from sensory systems, the spinal cord, and other parts of the brain and uses this information to coordinate motor movements, including the timing and force of muscle contractions. The cerebellum also plays a role in learning and adapting to new motor tasks.
