B)vestibular nuclei
C)lateral olivary nuclei
D)basal nuclei
E)autonomic ganglia

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The basal nuclei, also known as basal ganglia, are important in helping to control the initiation and termination of skeletal muscle movements.

Answer: A
 The red nuclei, located in the midbrain, are also involved in the control of skeletal muscle movements.

Answer: C
 The lateral olivary nuclei are not directly involved in the control of skeletal muscle movements, but rather in the control of muscle tone and coordination. Therefore, this is not a correct choice. Autonomic ganglia are also not involved in the control of skeletal muscle movements. Vestibular nuclei are involved in the regulation of balance and eye movements, but not directly in the control of skeletal muscle movements.
