Receives sensory input from muscle spindles and golgi tendon organs, cerebral cortex (vision, hearing and equilibrium) Influence motor activity indirectly through its output to vestibular nuclei, red nucleus and basal nuclei these structures in turn affect lower motor neurons through vestibulospinal tract, rubrospinal tract and reticulospinal tract. All output from cerebelloum is inhibitory which aid motor coordination by eliminating unnecessary neural activity. Damage intereferes with ability to coordinate movements with spatial judgement under or overreaching for objects may occur followed by intention tremor limb moves back and forth in pendulum like motion. Basal nuclei through their synapses in reticular formation exert inhibitory influence on activity of lmn. Striated and contains sarcomeres that shorten by sliding thin and thick filaments cardiac muscles can produce impulses and contract spontaneously. Cardiac muscles are involuntary effectors regulated by autonomic motor neurons.
