Part of the brian that controls actions of muscles and maintains balance?

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.
