Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The primary motor cortex, located in the frontal lobe, is responsible for controlling voluntary movements of the body, including those of the throat, tongue, jaw, and lips involved in speech production. Broca's area and Wernicke's area are language-related areas in the left hemisphere of the brain and do not directly control movements of the speech muscles. The parietal lobe is involved in sensory processing and integration but not in motor control of the speech muscles.
