    Study Notes

    Brain Overview

    • The brain is one of the most complex and fascinating organs in the human body, controlling and coordinating all bodily functions and activities.
    • It is responsible for movement, sensation, emotions, and cognition.

    Three Parts of the Brain

    • Brainstem: the most basic and primitive part of the brain, located at the base of the skull, beneath the cerebrum and in front of the cerebellum.
    • Brainstem connects the brain to the spinal cord and controls automatic functions such as:
    • Breathing
    • Digestion
    • Heart rate
    • Blood pressure
    • Coughing
    • Sneezing

    Functions of Other Brain Parts

    • Cerebellum: located at the back of the brain, responsible for:
    • Coordinating movement
    • Maintaining balance
    • Processing sensory information from:
    • Eyes
    • Ears
    • Muscles
    • Sending signals to control movement and balance
    • Cerebrum: the largest and most complex part of the brain, located at the back of the head, under the skull.
    • Cerebrum is involved in:
    • Memory
    • Problem-solving
    • Thinking
    • Emotions
    • Controlling movement
    • Cerebrum is divided into two hemispheres, connected by fibers called the corpus callosum.
    • The outer layer of the cerebrum, called the cerebral cortex, is important for processing sensory information.
