Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The cerebellum:
A
is a center for visual and hearing reflexes.
B
is a relay center for sensory input from body.
C
regulates muscular coordination.
D
regulates heart rate, respiration, and blood pressure.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Coordination of voluntary movements. Most movements are composed of a number of different muscle groups acting together in a temporally coordinated fashion. One major function of the cerebellum is to coordinate the timing and force of these different muscle groups to produce fluid limb or body movements.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cerebrocerebellum – this is the largest area of the cerebellum, responsible for planning movements and motor learning. It also works to regulate coordination of muscle activation as well as eye movements.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cerebellum receives information from the sensory systems, the spinal cord, and other parts of the brain and then regulates control of movements. The cerebellum controls voluntary movements such as: walking. posture.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The cerebellum coordinates voluntary movements such as posture, balance, coordination, and speech, resulting in smooth, balanced muscular activity. So, the correct answer is cerebellum.
