Muscle coordination, balance, and posture are controlled by which part of the brain?
A
Cerebrum
B
Cerebellum
C
Spinal cord
D
Medulla
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cerebellum is a small region at the back of the brain. It is the largest part of hind brain . The cerebellum controls smooth, coordinated movements, helps to maintain muscle tone, posture, and balance.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cerebellum-also called the “little brain” because it looks like a small version of the cerebrum-is responsible for balance, movement, and coordination. The pons and the medulla, along with the midbrain, are often called the brainstem. The brainstem takes in, sends out, and coordinates the brain’s messages.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cerebellum is located behind the brain stem. While the frontal lobe controls movement, the cerebellum “fine-tunes” this movement. This area of the brain is responsible for fine motor movement, balance, and the brain’s ability to determine limb position.

Detailed explanation-4: -The cerebellum, one of three main parts that make up your brain, is responsible for coordinating movement and balance. Also known as the “little brain, ” it plays a vital role in language and attention and can assist people with vision and eye movement.

Detailed explanation-5: -The flocculonodular lobe. It is the oldest part of the brain in evolutionary terms (archicerebellum) and participates mainly in balance and spatial orientation. Its primary connections are with the vestibular nuclei, although it also receives visual and other sensory input.
