Cerebellum Structure And Functions Flashcards
Cerebellum main job
To coordinate, regulate, synergies movement- that is currently occurring
Also regulate emotion and cognition
Cerebellum general facts
R and l hemis
Gray matter- tightly folded cerebellar cortex
White matter- aka arbor vitae;myelinated nerve fibers
Vermis- midine
Only the primary motor cortex
Initiates movement
Cerebellum provide for synergistic movements
Coordinated, sequential, fluid, collaborative muscle movements
Has motor, proprioceptive and vestibular jobs
Cerebellum specific jobs
Provide for organized, coord, volunt movement
Regulate postural stability during movement- balance
Coord, modify, fix rapid, sequential, ongoing movement
Is provided with input from various places about the state if ongoing movements and fixed any problems
