Describe the Structure and Function of the Cerebellum
Coordinates the muscles involved in postural adjustments and gait. Each fold is composed of an inner white matter core that is covered by gray matter. The Cerebellum Structure Position Vasculature Teachmeanatomy The cerebellum controls voluntary movements. . There is evidence too that the cerebellum can store a sequence of instructions for frequently performed movements and for skilled repetitive movementsthose that we think of. In particular it is active in the coordination precision and timing of movements as well as in motor learning. The cerebellum is situated in the posterior cranial fossa behind the pons and medulla oblongata separated from them by the fourth ventricle. Coordinates and predicts motor activity by adjusting the timing speed of contraction and relaxation of various muscle groups involved in voluntary activity. Its two main parts are the cerebellar nuclei and the cerebellar cortex tissue. The cerebellum ...
