A)Skeletal muscle contraction is not always dependent on nerve impulses.
B)The frontal lobes generate the impulses for movement.
C)The cerebellum and the frontal lobes work together so well because they are next to each other.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

B) The frontal lobes, specifically the motor cortex, are responsible for generating impulses for movement.
D) The cerebellum plays a critical role in ensuring that movements stop appropriately, specifically by regulating the timing and force of muscle contractions.
E) The coordination of movements, including balance and posture, is also a function of the cerebellum. 
A is incorrect because skeletal muscle contraction is always dependent on nerve impulses. C is incorrect because proximity does not necessarily indicate a functional relationship. F is incorrect because the pathway for flexing the forearm is brain - spinal cord - motor nerves - biceps brachii, not triceps brachii.
