Which part of the brain keeps the balance of the body?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a Cerebellum
  2. b Pons
  3. c Cerebrum
  4. 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.
