BRAIN ANATOMY
Brain
Cerebrum
Cerebral cortex
Corpus collosum
Cerebellum Diencephalon
thalamus
Pineal body
hypothalamus
Brain stem
Mid brain
Pons
Medulla
oblongata
The frontal lobe - The frontal lobe is located at the front of the brain. It has a huge role in what we do and
who we are, and controls our personality, emotions, memory and behavior
The parietal lobe -The parietal lobe sits directly behind the frontal lobe at the top of the brain. It consists of
two areas: the ‘sensory cortex’, which receives information from our senses, such as touch, pain and
pressure; and the ‘motor cortex’, which helps control how we move our limbs and body in the space we
are in. It is, therefore, involved with spatial awareness
The temporal lobe -The temporal lobe is located at the middle, lower half of the brain. It is a complex part
of the brain, which is involved in many ‘higher’ functions, such as intellect and behavior. The temporal
lobe has a large role in auditory perception (hearing) and is important in processing the meaning of
speech.
Occipital lobe – The occipital lobe is the smallest of the four lobes. Although it is located towards the very
rear of the skull, it is still technically classed as part of the forebrain. The primary role of the occipital lobe
is the control of vision
BRAIN ANATOMY
The brain is made up of around 100 billion nerve
cells
It weights around 1.3-1.5 kg
Present within the Cranium of the skull
The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain.
The two hemispheres, the left and right, are joined
together by a bundle of nerve fibres called the
corpus callosum. The cerebrum is further divided
in to four lobes: frontal, parietal, occipital, and
temporal, which have different functions.
DIENCEPHELON AND BRAIN STEM
Brain stem- The brain stem connects the cerebrum with the spinal
cord. It controls many of the functions that we usually do not have
to think about, including breathing, swallowing, blood pressure
and digestion. The two main parts of the brain stem are the pons
and the medulla oblongata.
PONS- It links together, or acts as
a bridge between, different parts
of the brain. The pons helps to
relay information from the
medulla oblongata to higher parts
of the brain.
Medulla oblongata- The
medulla oblongata is also part
of the brain stem and carries
messages between the brain
and the spinal cord. It is partly
responsible for heart rate and
lung functioning, and controls
reflexes such as swallowing,
coughing and the gag reflex.
