    • Motor Neuron
  • The cerebellum, located at the back of the skull, coordinates voluntary movements and maintains posture and balance.
  • parts of the brain
    -Cerebrum
    -Cerebellum
    -Brain Stem
  • Cerebum - Touch Vision, Hearing, speech, reasoning, emotions, learining & fine control movements
  • Cerebellum - Coordination of movement, Posture, Balance
  • Brain stem - Controls vital functions such as breathing, heart rate, body temperature, blood pressure, swallowing, digestion, sleep, consciousness, alertness, and arousal
