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

The cerebellum is the part of the brain that controls balance, coordination, posture, and fine motor movements.

The brain stem controls basic life functions such as breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, and connects the brain to the spinal cord.

The pons is part of the brain stem that helps regulate breathing, sleep, and relays messages between different parts of the brain.

The medulla oblongata controls vital involuntary functions such as breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, and reflexes like swallowing and coughing.

The parietal lobe processes sensory information such as touch, temperature, pain, and helps with spatial awareness.

The occipital lobe is responsible for processing visual information, including sight and color recognition.

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

The temporal lobe is responsible for hearing, language comprehension, memory, and emotion.

The motor cortex controls voluntary muscle movements of the body.

The sensory cortex receives and processes information about touch, temperature, pain, and body position.

The corpus callosum is a bundle of nerve fibers that connects the left and right hemispheres of the brain, allowing them to communicate.

The pituitary gland is the “master gland” that releases hormones controlling growth, metabolism, and other endocrine glands.

The thalamus acts as a relay station that directs sensory information to the appropriate parts of the brain.

The hypothalamus maintains homeostasis by regulating body temperature, hunger, thirst, hormones, and linking the nervous system to the endocrine system.

The hippocampus is involved in forming and storing memories and plays a key role in learning and spatial navigation.
