THE BRAIN

One of the largest and most complex


organs in the human body.

Main parts of the Brain


• Cerebrum
• Cerebellum
• Brain stem
THE CEREBRUM
• It is the largest and most visible part of the brain.
• "cerebral cortex" refers to the surface of the
cerebrum.
• It controls thinking and all voluntary activities of
the body.

THE BRAIN HEMISPHERES

• Left hemisphere - mathematical and logical


ability
• Right hemisphere - artistic ability
THE CEREBELLUM
• It is the second-largest part of the brain.
• It coordinates the action of muscles and
maintains the balance of the body.

THE BRAIN STEM


• It connects the spinal cord to the rest of the brain.
• It controls and coordinates survival functions of the
body
• Three distinct regions: Medulla Oblongata,
midbrain, and pons.
WHAT ARE THE
THREE MAIN
PARTS OF THE
BRAIN?
THE SPINAL CORD

• It is a tube-like organ of neurons


and blood vessels.
• It connects your brain to your
lower back. Your spinal cord
carries nerve signals from your
brain to your body and vice versa.
• It relays nerve impulses to and
from the brain.

THE SOMATIC NERVOUS SYSTEM
• It regulates bodily activities under conscious
control.
• It includes all the muscular system and
sensory receptors from the eyes, ears, nose,
skin, and tongue.

AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM


• It controls the activities of the body without conscious
will.
• Involuntary activities such as the beating of the heart,
the smooth muscles in the intestines, bladder, and
uterus.
