Question

Name the process/term for the statements given below:

(h) The part of the brain that maintains posture, equilibrium, and muscular toning?

Answer 1

Cerebellum:

1. It is a part of the hind brain and constitutes only 10% of the brain volume.
2. It is considered as the second largest part of the brain through being a very small structure due to the maximum number of neurons it contains when compared to the entire brain.
3. It aids in the maintenance of muscular tone, posture, and balance of the human body.
4. It maintains the equilibrium of the body.

Hence, the part of the brain that maintains posture, equilibrium, and muscular tone is the cerebellum.
