Part of the brain concerned with the muscular movement is 

  1. Cerebellum

  2. Thalamus

  3. Hippocampus

  4. Temporal lobe of cerebrum


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The cerebellum receives information from the sensory systems, the spinal cord, and other parts of the brain and then regulates motor movements. The cerebellum coordinates voluntary movements such as posture, balance, coordination, and speech, resulting in smooth, balanced muscular activity.

Part of mammalian brain controlling muscular coordination, equilibrium and posture is

  1. Cerebrum

  2. Corpus callosum

  3. Medulla oblongata

  4. Cerebellum


Correct Option: D

The branched tree-like structure/tree of life present in the cerebellum is

  1. Arbor vitae

  2. Arborial

  3. Archenteron

  4. Areole


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The cerebellum is the region of the hind brain. The cortex of cerebellum is made up of grey matter which is external to the white matter. The white matter projects outside and forms a branching pattern of a tree, which is called the Arbor Vitae or the tree of life. It is required for the coordination of various movements of the body. It also allows the cerebellum to communicate with the parts of the brain. 

Hence, the correct answer is 'Arbor vitae'

Arbor vitae is

  1. Tree-like structure in cerebrum

  2. Tree of life in cerebellum

  3. End part of spinal cord

  4. Branched dendrites of a neuron


Correct Option: B

Part of brain controlling balance and coordination is

  1. Cerebrum

  2. Medulla oblongata

  3. Hypothalamus

  4. Cerebellum

  5. Corpora quadrigemina


Correct Option: D

Coordination of hand-eye or voluntary muscle activity is connected with

  1. Cerebrum

  2. Cerebellum

  3. Medulla oblongata

  4. Crura cerebri


Correct Option: B

Arbor vitae is

  1. Grooves and sulci of cerebral hemispheres

  2. Rounded elevation behind in- fundibulum

  3. Thick nerve tracts linking cerebrum with medulla oblongata

  4. Branched white matter inside cerebellum


Correct Option: D

Pons, cerebellum and medulla constitute

  1. Fore brain

  2. Mid brain

  3. Hind brain

  4. Cerebral hemispheres

  5. Telencephalon


Correct Option: C

The cerebellum is concerned with

  1. Memory

  2. Vision

  3. Perception

  4. Coordination of muscular movements


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The cerebellum controls the timing and pattern of the muscle activation during movement. The main function of the cerebellum receives information from the sensory system, the spinal cord, and other parts of the brain and then regulates motor movements. The cerebellum coordinates voluntary movements such as posture, balance, coordination, and speech, resulting in smooth and balanced muscular activity.

So, the correct option is 'coordination of muscular movement'.

Which of the following part of the brain controls the posture and balance of the body?

  1. Cerebrum

  2. Cerebellum

  3. Medulla oblongata

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The cerebellum controls the posture and balance in the body because it receives the information from the inner ear, eyes, muscles etc which estimates the axis of the body and send signals to corresponding muscles for postural correction.

So, the correct option is 'Cerebellum'.
