The motor areas in the fore-brain control the movement of voluntary muscles. Once a decision is made based on sensory information, it is passed on to these motor areas for the execution of a response, such as controlling leg muscles.

The peripheral nervous system, consisting of cranial nerves from the brain and spinal nerves from the spinal cord, facilitates communication between the central nervous system and other parts of the body. This system serves as a conduit for transmitting signals ...
