Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cerebellum is responsible for coordinating and fine-tuning motor movements, so damage to this structure could result in clumsiness and uncoordination. The pons and medulla are primarily responsible for basic life-sustaining functions such as breathing and heart rate, while the reticular activating system is involved in arousal and attention.
