Explanation:

The cerebellum is a region of the brain located behind the top part of the brainstem, which coordinates voluntary movements (e.g., posture, balance, coordination, speech). The cerebellum is well known to regulate the balance of the body. The brainstem is a type of automatic control center that connects the cerebrum with the spinal cord. The pons represents a group of nerves that serve as connection between the cerebrum and cerebellum. The pons are located in the brainstem (between the midbrain and the medulla oblongata). The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain and can be divided into right and left hemispheres. These hemispheres communicate with each other by the corpus callosum.
