The 3 major functions of the cerebral cortax

  • 3 major Functions


    • Sensory areas that receive impulses from sense receptors (Eyes, ears, taste, nose, pain, pressure, heat/cold, touch)

    • Motor areas that start impulses that are responsible for all voluntary movement 

    • Associative areas of the brain are responsible for memory, learning and thought

  • The cerebral cortex has many folds called convolutions

  • Convolutions – are folds on the brain that increase surface area

what is brain

  • One of the most active organs of the human body

  • The brain receives 20% of the blood that is pumped from the heart

  • Brain and spinal cord float in a fluid known as cerebrospinal fluid. 


    • This fluid cushions against shock.

  • Major parts of the Brain:
