Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cerebellum is responsible for the rapid coordination of muscle activity and balance in the body. It receives feedback from the sensory systems and sends signals to the motor cortex to adjust movements and maintain balance. The motor cortex plays a role in muscle control as well, but it is not as directly involved in the rapid coordination required to prevent a fall. The pons and thalamus are not directly involved in motor control and balance.
