a. reflexesmotor
b. coordination
c. breathing
d. voluntary
e. movements

Answer 1

Answer:

Movements

Explanation:

The cerebellum plays major roles in the timing of motor activities and in rapid, smooth progression from one muscle movement to the next. It also helps to control the intensity of muscle contraction when the muscle load changes and controls the necessary instantaneous interplay between agonist and antagonist muscle groups

it helps to sequence the motor activities and also monitors and makes corrective adjustments in the body's motor activities while they are being executed so that they will conform to the motor signals directed by the cerebral motor cortex and other parts of the brain.
