The brain stem isn't just a part that leads to the brain with messages but sends messages too. The brain stem includes most of the brain but the cerebrum and diencephalon. Its upper most region is in the mid brain. Just bellow the mid brain is the hind brain. Its front is a large bulge called the pons. Bellow is the medulla.
Its functions are involved in activities like automatic movements such as how your eyes which suddenly move to look at an object as it passes by. The medulla keeps together, many nuclei which control respiratory, cardiac, and vasomotor(blood pressure) as well as coughing, sneezing, swallowing, and vomiting.
The "little brain" is the bottom and rearmost area of the brain. It, just like the cerebrum has a wrinkled surface but its bulged and other areas contain more regular patterns. In its anatomy includes the long slim vermis which runs down the middle separating 2 lobes both on the right and left.
The cerebellum is involved in movement coordination as well as balance. For example your cerebrum might say move your right hand forward, and your cerebellum will move your left leg to keep you from falling.
