Which of the following is NOT a function of the cerebellum?
A) Coordinate control of voluntary movements
B) Help in the maintenance of muscle tone
C) Control the heart rate
D) Control skeletal muscles to maintain balance
E) Control of posture, locomotion, and fine motor coordination
Cerebellum
A part of the brain that regulates motor movements, balance, and coordination.
Muscle Tone
The continuous and passive partial contraction of muscles, or the muscle's resistance to passive stretch during resting state.
Heart Rate
The number of heartbeats per unit of time, usually expressed as beats per minute (bpm).

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The cerebellum primarily coordinates voluntary movements, maintains muscle tone, balance, posture, and fine motor coordination but does not control heart rate. Control of heart rate is a function of the autonomic nervous system and is more directly managed by the medulla oblongata within the brainstem, not the cerebellum.
