The Brain is the reason that we posses human qualities. There are four main parts of the brain that help us with that. Let's take a look!
1. Cerebrum The Cerebrum is the largest part of the brain. It is also commonly known as the Cortex. It is responsible for action and thought processing. The Cerebrum is divided into four lobes those lobes are: 1. The Frontal Lobe 2.The Parietal Lobe 3.The Occipital Lobe 4.The Temporal Lobe 2. Cerebellum The Cerebellum is well known as the Little Brain. It has a highly folded surface and is distributed into to hemispheres. It is responsible for functions like balance, posture and coordination of movement. Even though it is smaller in size, it has even more neurons the the entire brain itself! The Cerebellum is located on the back of the brain stem and also on the top of the pons. 3. Limbic system The Limbic system lies on the inside of the cerebrum. Sometimes it is called the Emotional Brain because it is in charge of all of our emotion functions. 4. Brain Stem The Brain Stem is located underneath the limbic system. It is in charge of supervising very important things like blood pressure, breathing, and heartbeat That's all for now! -Meg :)
