Functions of cerebellum include:
Correct answer: C. To guide smooth and accurate motions and maintain body position
- A. To act as relay station
- B. Conversion of short-term memories into long term memories
- C. To guide smooth and accurate motions and maintain body position
- D. To act as link between nervous and chemical coordination
Explanation
The cerebellum coordinates muscle activity so that movements are smooth and accurate and helps maintain posture and balance. Acting as a relay station is the role of the thalamus, converting short term memories to long term ones is the hippocampus, and linking nervous and chemical coordination is the hypothalamus.

About Brain
The brain includes the cerebrum, cerebellum, brainstem, hypothalamus and medulla, each with distinct roles in sensation, movement and homeostasis. Questions connect major brain regions with their functions, reflex control and coordination, while distinguishing involuntary responses from hormonal regulation.
