What are the cerebrum and cerebellum?

Answer 1

one of the basic anatomical difference between these two structures is in there numbers of layers of grey matter. cerebrum has 6 layers of distinct cells in its cortex where as berebellum has only 3 layes of neronal cells in its cortex. other difference that i could come up with was this that they both have difference in their vasculature. cerebellum has a very high vasculature as compared to cerebrum.

Answer 2

Both the cerebrum and cerebellum have gray matter on the outer portion of the organ and white matter on the inside. The terms gray and white are named for their gross appearance. Gray matter contains neuronal cell bodies, while white matter contains myelinated axons. The major difference histologically seems to be the level of organization. The cerebrum will lack a definitive pattern of arrangement and just appear as a solid tissue of neurons and support cells. In contrast, the cerebellum has different neuronal cell layers in its gray matter, or cortex. The outermost layer (molecular layer) is the thickest and contains few nuclei. The middle layer is comprised of very large cells (Purkinje cells) arranged in a single layer. The innermost layer (Granule cell layer) has many small cells, with lots of visible nuclei.

Answer 3

Both the cerebellum and cerebrum are part of the whole brain. They are somewhat similar in shape and they also serve as centers of neural activity although of different nature. They are also both made up of hundereds of neurons that transmitt throught the body.

Answer 4

"Anatomically, the cerebellum has the appearance of a separate structure attached to the bottom of the brain, tucked underneath the cerebral hemispheres." ~ Wikipedia

Answer 5

The cerebrum controls some voluntary movements, has 5 sense centers, where you think and memory is stored. The cerebellum controls skeletal muscles and maitains balance.
