The brain stem controls muscle movements. Even involuntary movements are controlled by the tiny brain stem. Without the use of your brain stem, you will not "remember" how to do the simplest task.

What portion of the CNS controls muscle movement?

The portion of the central nervous system (CNS) that primarily controls muscle movement is the motor cortex, located in the frontal lobe of the brain. It sends signals to the spinal cord, which then relays these signals to the muscles. Additionally, the cerebellum and basal ganglia play crucial roles in coordinating and refining movement. Together, these areas ensure smooth and precise muscle activity.
