Anatomy Flashcards
Cerebellum is called the?
little brain
The cerebellum works closely with the vestibular system in maintaining?
Balance and posture
The cerebellum is important in?
Motor learning and coordination
The cerebellum is involved in?
Cognition and emotion
Coordination predicts and adjusts movements for?
Increased smoothness and rhythmicity to meet their goals.
The cerebellum regulates the kinetics and kinematics of movement (force, amplitude, duration and velocity) which is called?
overtime
The cerebellum regulates timing of excitatory and inhibitory inputs into the?
LMNs for movement and balance
The cerebellum coordinates these 6 things?
Smoothness of movement Synergy of activity Sequence muscle contraction/relax Precision Force too much/to little Timing
The cerebellum has how many hemispheres?
2
The cerebellum hemispheres is connected by?
vermis
The three lobes of the cerebellum are?
Anterior lobe -Most superiorly located Posterior lobe -largest -most inferior/medial portion is the tonsil Flocculonodular lobe
The Flocculonodular lobe is tucked up and under the posterior lobe and?
touching the brainstem
consists of a hemisphere portion and a vermal portion
Cerebellum hemisphere portion =
flocculus
Cerebellum vermal portion =
nodulus
