Brain Parts
This is the largest part of the brain responsible for thinking, learning, senses, memory, and voluntary movement.
What is the cerebrum?
This term describes functions your body performs automatically, like breathing and heart rate.
Involuntary functions
Brain cells called neurons send these types of signals to communicate.
Electrical and chemical signals
What is the body’s control center?
The brain because it controls nearly every function in the body.
This process helps keep the body stable by regulating hunger, thirst, sleep, and hormones.
Homeostasis
This part coordinates muscle movement, posture, balance, and coordination.
What is the cerebellum?
What are voluntary movements?
Walking, writing, and speaking are examples of this type of function.
This lobe handles reasoning, decision-making, and problem-solving.
Frontal lobe
These two brain parts work together to manage voluntary movement, coordination, and balance.
Cerebrum and cerebellum
The cerebellum helps maintain this to prevent you from falling.
Balance
This connects the brain to the spinal cord and controls automatic functions like breathing and heart rate.
What is the brainstem?
The brain processes information from these five sources to help you understand the world.
Senses (sight, sound, touch, taste, smell)
Messages from the brain travel through this to reach muscles and organs.
Spinal cord
The brain interprets signals from these to help you experience the world.
Five senses
Neurons send messages that tell your body to move, think, feel, or react. True or False?
True
The frontal lobe is part of this brain region.
What is the cerebrum?
What is the hippocampus?
This part of the brain stores new memories and helps you learn new information.
This lobe is responsible for memory and hearing.
Temporal lobe
The brain helps regulate your emotions and this aspect of your personality.
Behavior
This lobe of the brain is responsible for understanding touch and your surroundings.
Parietal lobe
This part of the brain is responsible for vision
Occipital lobe
The brain manages these aspects of your personality, like happiness, stress, and anger.
Emotions
This part of the brain helps coordinate balance and muscle movements.
Cerebellum
This brain region handles reasoning, decision-making, and problem-solving.
Frontal lobe
The brain allows you to do problem-solving, reasoning, and decision-making. This ability is part of what function?
Thinking and learning
