Brain Lobes
This lobe controls thinking, planning, and movement.
Frontal Lobe
This small gland is called the “master gland” because it controls hormones.
Pituitary Gland
This cortex controls voluntary movement.
Major Cortex
This area in the left temporal lobe helps us understand language.
Wernicke's Area
This organ weighs about 3 pounds in adults.
The Brain
This lobe processes visual information.
Occipital Lobe
This part connects the left and right brain hemispheres.
Corpus Callosum
This cortex processes sensations like touch and temperature.
Sensory Cortex
Damage here makes speech difficult but understanding intact.
Broca's Area
This lobe is the largest in the human brain.
Frontal Lobe
This lobe helps us process sound and language.
Temporal Lobe
This area helps form new memories and spatial navigation.
Hippocampus
This lobe is the main center for vision.
Occipital Lobe
Damage here allows fluent speech but poor comprehension.
Wernicke's Area
