The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain and is responsible for thinking, memory, emotions, and voluntary movement.

The cerebellum coordinates balance, posture, and fine motor movement.

The brain stem connects the brain to the spinal cord and controls vital functions such as breathing and heart rate.

The pons is part of the brain stem that helps regulate breathing and relays signals between the cerebrum and cerebellum.

The medulla oblongata controls vital involuntary functions including heartbeat, breathing, and blood pressure

The parietal lobe processes sensory information such as touch, temperature, and pain.

The occipital lobe is responsible for visual processing.

The frontal lobe controls decision-making, problem-solving, personality, and voluntary movement.

The temporal lobe processes hearing, language, and memory.

The motor cortex controls voluntary muscle movements.

The sensory cortex receives and processes sensory information from the body.

The corpus callosum is a thick band of nerve fibers that connects the left and right hemispheres of the brain.

The pituitary gland is the “master gland” that regulates hormone release from other endocrine glands.

The thalamus acts as a relay station, directing sensory information to the appropriate areas of the brain.

The hypothalamus regulates homeostasis, including body temperature, hunger, thirst, and hormone control.

The hippocampus is involved in memory formation and learning.
