    Cerebellum:

    It is responsible about the regulation and


    coordination of movement, posture, and balance.

    Brain stem:
    The brain stem connects the brain with the spinal
    cord. It consists 3 parts which are pons, medulla &
    midbrain. Brain stem is responsible for basic vital
    life functions such as breathing, heartbeat, blood
    pressure, and body temperature.

    What you need to know about your brain

    The brain is an organized structure that is divided


    into many parts which serve specific and important
    functions. It controls our feelings, emotions,
    memories, imaginations, movements, breathing and
    heart rate, and how we react to different situations.
    Therefore, it is the most important organ in our
    bodies. The brain is the main part of the central
    nervous system. The central nervous system
    composes the brain and the spinal cord. It produces
    electrical signals which together with chemical
    reactions; let the parts of the body communicate.
    Nerves send these signals
    throughout the
    body to receive
    information,
    analyze, and
    store them.

    In the following
    pages you

    How does your brain look like?


    Your brain is a soft, spongy mass of tissue which is
    protected by:
    • The bones of the skull
    • Three thin layers of tissue calls meninges
    • Watery fluid (cerebrospinal fluid) that flows
    through spaces between the meninges and
    through spaces within the brain (ventricles)

    What are the major parts of your brain and


    what are their functions?
    There are three major parts of your brain:

    Cerebrum:
    It is the largest part of your brain, associated with
    higher brain function such as thought and action.
    The cerebral cortex is divided into four sections,
    called “lobes”. These lobs are: the frontal lobes,
    parietal lobes, occipital lobes, and temporal lobes.
    The cerebrum is divided into the left and right
    cerebral hemispheres. The right hemisphere controls
    the left side of your body and the left hemisphere
    controls the right side of your body.
    Pariental Lobe

    Frontal Lobe
    Occipital Lobe

    Temporal Lobe
