The cerebellum is the second largest part of the brain, after the cerebrum. It functions for muscle coordination and maintains normal muscle tone and posture. The cerebellum coordinates balance.

Cerebellum
The cerebellum consists of two deeply-convoluted hemispheres. Although it represents only 10% of the weight of the brain, it contains as many neurons as all the rest of the brain combined.

cerebellum: a portion of the hindbrain that serves as a coordinating center for motor activity.
cell body: the main portion of the nerve cell.
cell cycle: many repetitions of cellular growth and reproduction; divided into interphase and mitosis.

Dendrites of Purkinje cells, a dominant cell type in the cerebellum, extend from the soma to form a nearly two dimensional arborization. Purkinje cells are stacked in the cerebellum much like dominoes (i.e.

Behind (or in humans, below) the cerebrum is the cerebellum, a complex structure that helps in the control of movement. The cerebellum attaches to the hindbrain in a structure called the pons.

An area of the brain composed of the cerebellum, medulla and pons. (Basically, the bulbar region is made up of the brain stem minus the midbrain and plus the cerebellum).

The most posterior region of the brain of the developing embryo which is divided into the more anterior metencephalon and the more posterior myelencephalon. It later differentiates into the cerebellum, medulla oblongata, and pons (in mammals).

3 primary vesicles (bulges) formed from the anterior neural tube. The hindbrain further subdivides into a posterior myelencephalon which will give rise to the medulla oblongata, and an anterior metencephalon, which will give rise to the cerebellum ...
