Solution: Cerebellum is the part of the brain involved in maintenance of body posture and equilibrium.
Different areas of the brain are involved in different functions and their structural composition is also dependent upon function.
Cerebellum is a separate structure distinct from the rest of the brain.
It is located just below the cerebrum, made of two different cerebral hemispheres.
It is commonly called a little brain.
It receives response from sensory organs, the spinal cord and other brain parts.
It regulates motor learning and movement.
Cerebellum is consisting of two main parts- A) cerebellar cortex and B) cerebellar nuclei.
Cerebellar cortex: it is a layer of folded cerebellar neural tissue consisting of most of the neurons.
Cerebellar nuclei: it is an innermost part of the cerebellum containing nerve cells which communicate information from the cerebrum.
