Cerebellum controls balance and fine tunes movements. It doesn't directly control actions of muscles but it keeps movements from becoming shaky. For example, damage to the cerebellum doesn't paralyze you but you will definately have a hard time pointing at something specifically. The cerebellum takes in information about where your body is in relationship to everything else and adjusts. So instead of falling down when you're on your two feet, the cerebellum adjusts muscles in the foot slightly to compensate for the weight differences that are always happening. Just stand up and notice how you automatically adjust muscles in your foot when you lean forward slightly or just moving your arm. That's the cerebellum at work so our movements are smooth and precise. It is the parietal lobe that does the actual muscle movement in general.

Which part of the brain controls balance?

The cerebellum, located at the back of the brain, is primarily responsible for controlling balance and coordination. It receives sensory inputs from the inner ear, eyes, and muscles to help maintain equilibrium and posture. Damage to the cerebellum can result in issues with balance and coordination.

What is involved in movement?

Movement involves the coordinated actions of muscles, bones, and the nervous system. Muscles contract and relax to create force, allowing bones to pivot at joints and produce motion. The nervous system controls and regulates these movements by sending signals from the brain to the muscles, integrating sensory feedback to ensure balance and coordination. Additionally, energy is required for movement, often sourced from metabolic processes in the body.
