HUMAN BRAIN functioning as the coordinating center of the body  Brain is organ of soft nervous tissue contained in the skull of vertebrates, functioning as the coordinating center of the body

PARTS OF BRAIN Human Brain is divided into 3 main parts on the basis of their function and placements The 3 main parts of Human Brain are ; Fore Brain Mid Brain Hind Brain

FORE BRAIN Position: It is the anterior part of the brain It has 3 parts Cerebrum Thalamus Limbic System

THALAMUS  Position: It is located above the brain stem and between the cerebral cortex and mid-brain  Function: It carries sensory information from the body to Cerebrum and The Limbic System

HYPOTHALAMUS & PITUITARY GLAND PITUITARY  Structure: It is pea-shaped structure  Function: It is very important in Growth and reproduction  Position: It lies under the thalamus  Function: It connects the nervous system with the endocrine system via pituitary gland

LIMBIC SYSTEM Hunger Fear Thirst Anger Sexual responses etc  Structure: It is arc shaped structure between thalamus and cerebrum  Function: It controls responses like Hunger Fear Thirst Anger Sexual responses etc

CEREBRUM Structure: It is divided into 2 halves called cerebral hemisphere They communicate via corpus collosum Cerebral cortex is the outer region of Cerebrum

FUNCTION OF CEREBRUM It helps In movement It controls speech It is responsible for sensory processing It determines the intelligence of the being

MID-BRAIN  Position: It is located below the cerebral cortex and above the hind brain  Function: It controls reflex movements of the body and hearing reflexes

HIND-BRAIN Position: It is present at the backside of the Brain Parts: It consists of Cerebellum Pons Medulla Oblongata

CEREBELLUM  Meaning: It is latin for Little Brain  Position: It is located at the back side of head  Functions: It controls the balance of the body and co-ordinates the voluntary movement of the body

PONS above medulla  Meaning: Pons mean “Bridge”  Position: It is located above medulla  Function: It controls sleep as well as the rate and pattern of breathing

MEDULLA OBLONGATA Breathing Heart rate Swallowing Blood Circulation  Position: It is the posterior part of the brain  Function: It controls automatic actions e.g Breathing Heart rate Swallowing Blood Circulation
