- The cerebellum is involved in maintaining balance and coordination. The cerebellum receives sensory information from different sensory receptors to do this. It receives visual input from the eyes. Its movement and position, called proprioception, are determined with the help of proprioceptors in the muscles and joints. Which of the following structures is/are NOT involved in coordinating balance? Select one: a. Basilar membrane in the organ of Corti b. Rods and Cones in the retina c. Otoliths in the utricle and saccule d. Cupula in the semicircular canalsarrow_forwardA concussion is a common sports-related injury involving the brain. Concussions occur when the brain is injured by a jolt or a hit. A number of symptoms can occur based on the affected areas of the brain. Some Areas of the Human Brain Cerebellum Pons Frontal lobe Parietal lobe Occipital lobe Temporal lobe Match the description of the symptom with the number of the affected brain area listed above.
