1 Brain Structure and Function
Biology

2 The Brain The brain is the control center of the body. The numerous sections of the brain carry out specific tasks that function in maintaining homeostasis.

3 External features of the brain

4 Cerebrum Carries out higher thought processes
Involved with language, learning, memory, and voluntary body movements Divided in left and right hemispheres and FOUR LOBES

5 Cerebellum Responsible for balance and coordination

6 Brain stem Relays signals between the brain and spinal cord

7 Brain Stem Pons Medulla Oblongata
Relays signal between cerebrum and cerebellum Medulla Oblongata Relays signals between brain and spinal cord

8 Cerebrum Lobes

9 Cerebrum Lobes Frontal Lobe
Conscious thought, behavior, emotion, planning, personality, organizing, problem solving Parietal Lobe Occipital Lobe Temporal Lobe

10 Cerebrum Lobes Parietal Lobe
Frontal Lobe Parietal Lobe Perception, spelling, manipulation of objects (making sense of the world) Occipital Lobe Temporal Lobe

11 Cerebrum Lobes Temporal Lobe Sense of smell and sound
Frontal Lobe Parietal Lobe Temporal Lobe Sense of smell and sound Memory, understanding, language Occipital Lobe

12 Cerebrum Lobes Occipital Lobe Sense of sight Frontal Lobe
