The ____ controls balance, posture, and coordination.
A
Cerebrum
B
Cerebellum
C
Medulla
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Cerebellum. This is the back of the brain. It coordinates voluntary muscle movements and helps to maintain posture, balance, and equilibrium.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cerebellum also known as the small brain, is a part of the hindbrain. It is responsible for maintaining the balance and posture of the body and skilled memory i.e. things that we learn in our lifetime like walking, riding a bicycle, swimming, writing, etc.

Detailed explanation-4: -The cerebellum is important for movement control and plays a particularly crucial role in balance and locomotion. As such, one of the most characteristic signs of cerebellar damage is walking ataxia.

Detailed explanation-5: -Your cerebellum is part of your brain that helps coordinate and regulate a wide range of functions and processes in both your brain and body. While it’s very small compared to your brain overall, it holds more than half of the neurons (cells that make up your nervous system) in your whole body.
