The nervous system forms a network of connections throughout the body that links organs and controls all bodily functions. It has three main parts: the cerebrum, the largest part of the brain which controls intelligence and movement; the cerebellum below the cerebrum which controls muscle coordination and balance; and the brain stem called the medulla which connects the brain to the spinal cord.

NERVOUS SYSTEM
The nervous system forms a network of connections all
over the body that links various organs together and controls all the functions of our body. Brain Parts of brain
Cerebrum
Cerebellum
Medulla (Brain stem)
Brain Cerebrum Cerebrum is the largest part of brain and looks like a walnut. It is divided into left and right hemispheres. It receives signals from sense organs and tells the body what to do. It is the centre of intelligence of the body. It helps us to think, learn and remember. It controls the working of eyes, ears, tongue, nose and even our voice. Brain Cerebellum
Cerebellum is a bulb-like structure,
lies below the cerebrum, controlling and coordinating the actions of the muscles. It maintains the body balance and keeps it upright. The body movements become jerky (imbalance) if the cerebellum does not function properly.
