Study Notes
- The brain is the body's control center.
Cerebrum
- The cerebrum is the thinking part of the brain.
- It assists in activities like homework or playing computer games.
- It's the largest part of the brain, divided into left and right hemispheres.
- The left brain is responsible for math, logic, and speech.
- The right brain handles imagination, creativity, music, art, colors, and shapes.
Hippocampus
- The hippocampus is responsible for memory.
- It converts short-term memories, like what you ate for breakfast, into long-term memories, like your fifth birthday.
Brain Stem
- The brain stem connects the brain to the spinal cord.
- It manages essential functions such as breathing, digestion, and blood circulation.
- It controls muscles that operate without conscious thought.
Hypothalamus
- The hypothalamus regulates body temperature, aiming for approximately 37 degrees Celsius.
- It sends signals to induce sweating when hot and shivering when cold.
Cerebellum
- The cerebellum manages movement and coordination.
- It helps with standing, walking, and running.
- It is much smaller than the cerebrum.
- Without it, movement is impossible.
