Which part of the brain keeps the balance of the body?
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a Cerebellum
- b Pons
- c Cerebrum
- d Medulla oblongata
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: a Cerebellum
The cerebellum keeps the balance of the body and co-ordinates movement.
Why the other options are wrong
- b Pons: The pons links the cerebellum and medulla; it does not keep balance.
- c Cerebrum: The cerebrum controls thinking, memory and voluntary muscles.
- d Medulla oblongata: Nerves of the medulla are involved in balance, but the chief balancing part is the cerebellum.
