While walking to the kitchen in the middle of the night, Jamal tripped over an object that he could not see in the dark. Which part of the CNS sent a signal to help prevent Jamal from falling?

The cerebellum helps coordinate movement and maintain balance. When Jamal tripped, it helped adjust his movements so he could keep from falling; the cerebrum is more involved in conscious thought and voluntary actions.
