motor cortex
frontal

Answer 2

Answer:

The given blanks can be filled with motor cortex and frontal lobe.

Explanation:

All the voluntary movements of the body are monitored by the brain. The area of the brain, which is majorly involved in monitoring these voluntary movements is the motor cortex.  

The motor cortex is found in the hindmost section of the frontal lobe, just prior to the central sulcus, which distinguishes parietal lobe from the frontal lobe. The origination of the signals for the voluntary muscle movements takes place in a band of tissue known as the motor cortex, which is situated on the frontal lobe.
