Question

what functions needed in coordination and balance ?

Answer 1

The cerebellum is the part of the brain most involved in coordinating sequences of movements. It also controls balance and posture. Anything that damages the cerebellum can lead to loss of coordination (ataxia).

Answer 2

The part of the brain for control of balance and coordination is cerebellum. The functions of cerebellum are regulation of motor movements. 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 that is why when we drink too much, alcohol mix with our blood and goes to our blood stream and passes to our brain barrier because brain barrier cannot shield ethanol from entering our body. That is why whenever we’re drunk we are having problems with speech, walk or vision because ethanol greatly affects the cerebellum and damage to the cerebellum, while not causing paralysis or intellectual impairment, might lead to a lack of balance, slower movements, and tremors (shaking). Complex physical tasks would become unsteady and halting.
