BRAIN: PARTS, PROCESSES

AND FUNCTIONS
Personal development
UNDERSTANDING THE BRAIN PARTS, ITS
PROCESSES, AND ITS FUNCTIONS
1. CEREBRUM
- is situated in the uppermost part of the brain.

- the largest part of the brain and on its outermost


surface area is called the cerebral cortex
- divided into two hemispheres: the right
cerebral hemisphere controls the left side of the
body while the left cerebral hemisphere controls
the right side of the body.
1. CEREBRUM
- the main function of cerebrum is to regulate
senses, memory, emotions, intellectual activities,
and body movement like deciding on your career
and curriculum exits.
- receives sensory information from the
thalamus.
THALAMUS
- is connected to all major parts of the brain
including the cerebral cortex.
- receives information, organizes and then sends
information to the cerebrum.
HYPOTHALAMUS
- is located below the thalamus and above the brainstem
which links the nervous system with the endocrine
system that regulates the digestive processes and is
also responsible for growth and development
LIMBIC SYSTEM

- composes parts of the cerebral cortex and


hypothalamus, that regulate various types of emotions
that affect blood temperature and blood pressure
facilitated by the hypothalamus like eating behavior.
2. CEREBELLUM
- is located below the cerebrum at the back of the
head.
- functions directly with the cerebrum to receive
information from the sensory system and the
spinal cord to regulate balance, postures, and
coordinate movement like riding a bike and
walking upright.
3. BRAIN STEM

- is located at the lower part of the brain, which


leads to the spinal cord.
- connects the cerebrum and cerebellum to the
spinal cord.

- It composes nerve fibers that carry signals to


and from all parts of the body.
3. BRAIN STEM
- Its functions are for safety and survival such as
breathing, consciousness, heart rate, body
temperature, blood pressure, digestion, and wake
and sleep cycles.
CEREBRAL CORTEX

- in the outermost layer of the cerebrum is


responsible for receiving and processing information
also in initiating a response from the processed
information in the brain.

- contains four lobes that share complex relationships


to function.
These are the Frontal Lobe, Parietal Lobe, Temporal
Lobe, and Occipital Lobe.
FRONTAL LOBE

- situated at the front part of the brain which controls


memory, emotion, stress response, speech, decision
making, and planning.
PARIETAL LOBE
- is situated near the back of the frontal lobe which
regulates sensory perception.
TEMPORAL LOBE

- is located at the side of the head which regulates


memory, hearing, and comprehension.

OCCIPITAL LOBE
- is situated at the back of the head which regulates
sight.
