Question

An alcoholic person walks unsteadily when drunk. Why?

Answer 1

An alcoholic person walks unsteadily when drunk.
Explanation:

1. Walking is a type of voluntary movement carried out by the skeletal muscles.
2. The region of the brain responsible for this type of movement is the cerebellum.
3. It helps in the coordination of muscles for walking by contracting and relaxing them when required.
4. The cerebellum is a small region of the hindbrain situated below the cerebrum. It has an outer grey and an inner whitish furrow which makes it appear like a branching tree.
5. Consumption of alcohol affects the cerebellum region.
6. Thus, the person consuming alcohol is unable to walk steadily.
