Question

Draw a neat and labelled digram of brain and label medulla and cerebellum
Write the function of the above

Answer 1

The Cerebellum : Maintains muscular coordination

The Medulla : Controls involuntary functions of the body like Heartbeat, Breathing, e.t.c.

Answer 2

• The cerebellum: coordinates voluntary movements such as posture, balance, coordination, and speech, resulting in smooth and balanced muscular activity. It is also important for learning motor behaviors.

• The medulla oblongata: helps regulate breathing, heart and blood vessel function, digestion, sneezing, and swallowing. This part of the brain is a center for respiration and circulation. Sensory and motor neurons (nerve cells) from the forebrain and midbrain travel through the medulla.
