Receives sensory information to adjusts skeletal muscles to maintain posture and/or balance.
A
Cerebellum
B
Cerebrum
C
Pons
D
Medulla Oblongata
E
Brain Stem
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cerebellum is important for making postural adjustments in order to maintain balance. Through its input from vestibular receptors and proprioceptors, it modulates commands to motor neurons to compensate for shifts in body position or changes in load upon muscles.

Detailed explanation-2: -The superior cerebellar peduncle is composed of white matter that connects the cerebellum to the midbrain and allows for coordination in the arms and legs. The inferior cerebellar peduncle connects the medulla and cerebellum using proprioceptors to maintain balance and posture.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cerebellum. This is the back of the brain. It coordinates voluntary muscle movements and helps to maintain posture, balance, and equilibrium.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cerebellum function It sends signals for the body to adjust and move. Coordinating movement: Most body movements require the coordination of multiple muscle groups. The cerebellum times muscle actions so that the body can move smoothly. Vision: The cerebellum coordinates eye movements.
