Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cerebellum. This is the back of the brain. It coordinates voluntary muscle movements and helps to maintain posture, balance, and equilibrium.

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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cerebellum receives information from the sensory systems, the spinal cord, and other parts of the brain and then regulates motor movements. It regulates voluntary movements such as posture, balance, coordination, and speech, resulting in smooth and balanced muscular activity.

Detailed explanation-4: -All of the body’s voluntary movements are controlled by the brain. One of the brain areas most involved in controlling these voluntary movements is the motor cortex.
