The cerebrum (pl.: cerebra), telencephalon or endbrain [1] is the largest part of the brain, containing the cerebral cortex (of the two cerebral hemispheres) as well as several subcortical structures, including the hippocampus, basal ganglia, and olfactory bulb. In the human brain, the cerebrum is the uppermost region of the central nervous system.
The human cerebellum is located at the base of the brain, with the large mass of the cerebrum above it, and the portion of the brainstem called the pons in front of it. It is separated from the overlying cerebrum by a layer of tough dura mater called the cerebellar tentorium; all of its connections with other parts of the brain travel through the pons.
In the anatomy of animals, the brain, or encephalon, is the supervisory centre of the nervous system. Although the brain is usually cited as the supervisory centre of vertebrate nervous systems, the same term can also be used for the invertebrate central nervous system. In most animals, the brain is located in the head.
The superior cerebellar veins pass partly forward and medialward, across the superior cerebellar vermis.They end in the straight sinus, [1] and the internal cerebral veins, partly lateralward to the transverse and superior petrosal sinuses.
The name cerebellum is a diminutive of cerebrum (brain); [93] it can be translated literally as little brain.

Elongation of the cerebellar tonsils can, due to pressure, lead to this portion of the cerebellum to slip or be pushed through the foramen magnum of the skull resulting in tonsillar herniation. This is a life-threatening condition as it causes increased pressure on the medulla oblongata which contains respiratory and cardiac control centres.
