Answer:

Cerebellum

Step-by-step explanation:

The cerebellum is the part of the brain present posterior to medulla and pons. Its main function is to coordinate the contractions of skeletal muscles during movements to ensure smooth and skilled movements. It sends signals to motor areas of the cerebral cortex to ensure the coordinated muscular activities during several body movements.

Cerebellum also helps maintain the posture and balance of the body. Any injury to the cerebellum makes the individuals unable to maintain the correct posture and to perform coordinated skeletal muscle movement.
