Question

One of the main functions of the cerebellum is to maintain balance in our body.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

Cerebellum is responsible for balance and coordination of muscles and the body. It is a much smaller area of the brain, located just below and behind the cerebral hemispheres and above the medulla oblongata.

The cerebellum receives information from the sensory systems, the spinal cord, and other parts of the brain and then regulates motor movements. The cerebellum coordinates voluntary movements such as posture, balance, coordination, and speech, resulting in smooth and balanced muscular activity.
