Best Answer

They regulate motor activity, precisely start or stop movements, coordinate movements with posture, block unwanted movements, and monitor muscle tone. They control the outcome of the cortex and brain stem motor centers and stand at the highest level of the motor hierarchy.

Where is the motor cortex in the brain?

Both the cerebellum and the basal nuclei (also called the basal ganglia) are the pre-command centers of the brain.


What is the nuclei that coordinate motor output?

I'm not sure what nuclei would do that. If you mean cellular nuclei then it would be the nuclei in the soma on the motor neuron. But, if you are asking about motor coordination, that is controlled by a part of the brain called the cerebellum.


What is the connection between cerebellum and the ears?

Cerebellum receives the information regarding equilibriumfrom your inner ears. The information reaches your cerebellum both directly through your vestibular nerve, and also indirectly through your vestibular nuclei.


Is the cerebellum and basal nuclei involved in regulating motor activity and coordinating postural movements?

True


What parts of the brain ultimately plan and coordinate complex motor activities?

cerebellum and basal nuclei


Is the cortex of cerebellum white or gray matter?

The white matter in the cerebellum is called 'arbor vitae,' meaning 'Tree of Life.' The name refers to the appearance of this part of the brain as branches on trees extending out. Within the arbor vitae are cerebellar nuclei, which receive excitatory inputs from nerve fibers.


What are cells that do not have a nuclei called?

all cells have a nuclei


What passes corrective signals from cerebellum and basal nuclei to motor cortex for control of movement?

Neurons pass information back and forth via electrical and chemical signals.


What is organism whose cells contain nuclei called?

An organism whose cels contain nuclei is called eukaryots!


What does the cerebellum have more than other part of the brain?

The cerebellum consists of a tightly folded and crumpled layer of cortex, with white matter underneath, several deep nuclei embedded in the white matter, and a fluid-filled ventricle at the base. At the microscopic level, each part of the cerebellar cortex consists of the same small set of neuronal elements, laid out with a highly stereotyped geometry. At an intermediate level, the cerebellum and its auxiliary structures can be decomposed into several hundred or thousand independently functioning modules called "microzones" or "microcompartments".


What is the function of the pons in the body?

The pons contains nuclei that relay signals from the cerebrum to the cerebellum, and nuclei concerned with sleep, hearing, equilibrium, taste, eye movements, facial expressions, facial sensation, respiration, swallowing, bladder control, and posture.
