in humans‚ the cerebrum is the largest part and superior-most region of the vertebrate central nervous system. It is also divided into approximately symmetric left and right cerebral hemispheres. 4. Cerebellum- a region of the brain that plays an important role in motor control. The cerebellum does not initiate movement‚ but it contributes to coordination‚ precision‚ and accurate timing. 5. Brain Stem- the posterior part of the brain‚ adjoining and structurally continuous with the spinal cord

Nervous System The two types of the nervous system are the Central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. They are responsible for integrating‚ processing‚ and coordinating Sensory data and motor commands the central nervous system‚ which interprets sensory input and carry information to maintain homeostasis. CNS can’t be regenerate because a CNS consists of the spinal cord that mean if it’s break the spinal cord is break also. The peripheral nervous system consists of the nerves

The forebrain is made up of the telencephalon and the diencephalon. The midbrain comprises of mesencephalon which is can be broken down into the tectum and the tegmentum. The hindbrain consists of the metencephalon which is broken down into the cerebellum‚ Pons‚ and myelencephalon which is made up of medulla oblongata. The Telencephalon is at the largest part of the brain and is made up of the basil ganglia‚ the cerebral cortex‚ the olfactory bulb‚ and the corpus striatum. The functions of the

Basal ganglia Controls cognition and movement coordination as well as voluntary movement. It is also a component of the corpus striatum and it consists of the subthalamic nucleus and the substantial nigra (About.com‚ 2012). 2.

include autonomic functions‚ breathing‚ digestion‚ heart rate‚ swallowing‚ and sneezing. The mentencephalon is located under the rear area of the cerebrum and above the medulla oblongata. This structure is made up of the cerebellum and pons (the connection to the cerebellum). The functions of the metencephalon include arousal‚ balance‚ cardiac reflexes‚ muscle movement and maintenance‚ and sleep. Along with the myelencephalon‚ they represent the hindbrain. The mesencephalon is the midbrain structure
Premium Brain Cerebrum Cerebral cortex
Cerebrum The cerebrum is the largest portion of the brain‚ and contains tools which are responsible for most of the brain’s function. It is divided into four sections: the temporal lobe‚ the occipital lobe‚ parietal lobe and frontal lobe. The cerebrum is divided into a right and left hemisphere which are connected by axons that relay messages from one to the other. This matter is made of nerve cells which carry signals between the organ and the nerve cells which run through the body. Frontal Lobe: The

ventricles. The midbrain helps to relay information for vision and hearing. It regulates several reflexes: • Visual reflex • Auditory reflex • Righting reflex Cerebellum (Latin for little brain) is a region of the brain that plays an important role in motor control. The cerebellum is at the base and the back of the brain. The cerebellum is responsible for coordination and balance. It functions below the level of conscious thought which is why it regulates involuntary movements. It regulates movement
