The document summarizes the main parts of the brain. It describes the cerebrum as controlling functions like speech, intelligence, memory and emotion. It notes the cerebellum coordinates movement and balance, while the thalamus coordinates smell and touch. It then explains the brain stem contains the midbrain, pons and medulla which regulate vital tasks. The lobes of the brain are also outlined, with the frontal lobe used for thinking and the parietal lobe for processing messages. Finally, the hypothalamus regulates sleep patterns and the pituitary gland produces important hormones.

The cerebrum controls speech,
intelligents, memory and emotion. For example: if you remember something the cerebrum remembered it. The cerebellum coordinates your movement and balance. cerebellum
The thalamus coordinates smell
and touch. The brain stem The midbrain communicates with your nerve system. The Pons send messages through your body. The medulla and oblongata regulates vital functions such as heart beat and breathing. The spinal cords connects the brain to the body and controls nerves. The lobes The frontal lobes are used for thinking, imagining, planning and reasoning. The parietal lobes are processing messages. The occipital lobes are used for visual sight. The temporal lobe processes herring. Hypothalamus and pituitary gland Pituitary gland The hypothalamus regulates functions such as sleeping patterns. The pituitary gland produces hormones. Hormones are special chemicals that make your body do things. The end
