LG5 - recognise that voluntary movement is coordinated from the primary motor cortex, cerebellum and basal ganglia Flashcards
1
Q
Primary Motor Cortex
A
- Controls body movements
- Frontal Lobe
2
Q
Cerebellum
A
- At the rear of the brain stem
- Coordinates voluntary movement & balance (regulates posture, muscle tone & muscle coordination)
- Affected by alcohol - explains why people cant balance when drunk
3
