D. Cerebellum \ It functions as a regulator of timing of movements. It integrates sensory perception and motor output. Many neural pathways link the cerebellum with the motor cortex - which sends information to the muscles causing them to move - and the spinocerebellar tract - which provides feed-back on the position of the body in space (proprioception). The cerebellum integrates these pathways, using the constant feed-back on body position to fine-tune motor movements. Studies of motor learning in the vestibulo-ocular reflex and eyeblink conditioning demonstrate that the timing and amplitude of learnt movements are encoded by the cerebellum

Links the outer nervous system with the central nervous system is?

The brain stem is connected to the spinal cord, which is the central nerve bundle (nerve trunk) that branches out into the various areas of the outer nervous system. In addition to the central nervous system is also the peripheral nervous system, which controls autonomic functions meant to maintain vital functions of the body. The peripheral nervous system is divided into the sympathetic nervous system (exciting, alerting, fight-or-flight) and parasympathetic nervous system (relaxing).

Is the autonomic nervous system?

The autonomic nervous system that controls the functions within the body. Some functions that it controls are the heartbeat, digestive system, and breathing. The autonomic nervous system is the part of the peripheral nervous system that acts as a control system. It functions largely below the level of consciousness to control visceral functions.
