Motor cortex is a region found in the cerebral cortex of the brain. It main function is to plan, control, and execute voluntary motor processes.
Premotor cortex
The primary motor cortex controls voluntary movements. Damage to the primary cortex would impact the ability to control voluntary movement.
The somatic motor cortex is located in the human brain. It can be found in the posterior portion of the frontal lobe.

The motor cortex of the parietal lobe.
Spinal cord.
The motor cortex is found in the brain.
Probably the best-known region of the brain associated with motor control (movement) is the primary motor cortex. The primary motor cortex is located in the precentral gyrus, just anterior to the central sulcus.However, the pre-motor areas of the frontal lobe, as well as the cerebellum are also very involved with motor control.
Degree of precise control required by each of the parts
The part of the brain known as the motor cortex controls all voluntary movements, including running.
