What is the structure and function of the brain?

The brain has three main parts: the cerebrum, cerebellum and brainstem. Cerebrum: is the largest part of the brain and is composed of right and left hemispheres. It performs higher functions like interpreting touch, vision and hearing, as well as speech, reasoning, emotions, learning, and fine control of movement.

What are the functions of the human brain?

The Cerebrum: It is the largest part of the brain.

  • Frontal Lobe: this is the decision-making center of the brain.
  • Parietal Lobe: it is located behind the frontal lobe.
  • Occipital Lobe: it is located at the back of our head and controls all visual-related information like colors,shapes,and angles of everything we see through our eyes.

    • What are the 10 parts of the brain?

    Brain Part Number Brain Part; 1: amygdala: 4: cerebellum: 2: hippocampus: 5: basal ganglia: 3: language areas (Broca’s and Wernicke’s area) 6: hypothamalus

    What are the functional areas of the brain?

    • What are the functions of the lower brain?

    Medulla — The medulla contains nuclei for regulating blood pressure and breathing,as well as nuclei for relaying information from the sense organs that comes in from the cranial nerves.

  • Pons — The pons contains nuclei that relay movement and position information from the cerebellum to the cortex.
  • Midbrain — The midbrain contains nuclei that link the various sections of the brain involved in motor functions (cerebellum,basal ganglia,cerebral cortex),eye movements and auditory control.
