The cerebellum is a prominent part of the hindbrain and is located just above the brainstem. The cerebellum controls all the voluntary movements of the body and is also responsible for maintaining balance and posture.

The cerebellum is said to make up for 10% of the brain's volume but has more than 50% of the brain's total neurons.

The cerebellum is made up of two parts; a cerebral cortex, a layer made of folded tissue which contains most of the neurons and cerebral nuclei, an inner part which contains the neurons responsible for communication.

Therefore, the hindbrain develops into the pons, medulla oblongata and cerebellum.

lilavasa [31]

Answer: (<u>Note</u>: You will find the image with the highlighted structure in the attached file)

Peyer's patches (aggregated lymphoid nodules)

Explanation:

Peyer's patches are anatomical regions located under the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract, specifically in the lamina propria of the thin intestine. These patches are nodules or cumulus of lymphatic tissue and other accessory cells, and this is why they represent a huge part of the mucosa´s immunity system.

Peyer's patches belong to the group of lymphoid tissue associated with the intestine, composed of lymphoid follicles distributed along the gastrointestinal tract.

A lymphoid follicle is a cumulus or aggregate of lymphoid cells that do not have a well-defined structure nor organization. In general, these follicles are isolated from each other in the intestine. But in the terminal ileum (The last portion of the thin intestine) they get so close that they might form a plaque. The Peyer´s patches are formed principally by lymphocytes B that synthesize immunoglobulin A, which has an important role in immunity.
