Question

A 66-year-old man has difficulty controlling voluntary movements. He can clearly state what he intends to do, describe how he would do it, and initiate or stop the movement. However, he has poor coordination and often misses his target. If his difficulty arises from a defect in one particular area of the central nervous system, which area is most likely to be involved

Answer 1

Answer:

Cerebrum

Explanation:

Cerebrum is the part of central nervous system that is responsible for the voluntary movement. If there is poor coordination between cerebrum and the muscles so the person has difficulty in controlling his voluntary actions or movement. Somatic nervous system is a part of the peripheral nervous system responsible for the voluntary movements of body parts through the use of skeletal muscles so we can say that both cerebrum and somatic nervous system is responsible for voluntary actions.
