The internal feature of the cerebellum is white/grey matter
white
What is the main function of the cerebellum
determine, rate range and force of movements
T/F movement initiates in the cerebellum
F

- spinocerebellar
- vestibulocerebellar
- tectocerebellar
- UMNs
What are the 3 efferent pathways though the cerebellum?
- vestibular nuclei
- reticular formation

- middle cerebellar peduncles
- rostral cerebellar peduncles
species that will be able to get up soon after birth
precocial
species that will take longer to develop their motor skills, coordination, senses
altricial
T/F cerebellar disease causes loss of function
F
T/F Cerebellar Disease does not cause paresis or paralysis
T
T/F Cerebellar disease does not cause ataxia
F
inability to judge distance or fully understand force of movement
dysmetria
over measurement in the gait response observed as greater movements of the limbs in all ranges of motion
hypermetria
