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.
