Brain stem

The brain stem is the lower part of the brain that connects the brain to the spinal cord, responsible for controlling essential functions such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure.

• medulla

• cerebellum

Medulla

controls heartbeat, breathing, & blood pressure

Cerebellum

coordinates voluntary movement, balance, posture, & motor learning.

limbic system

a collection of structures that manage emotions, memory, and arousal, influencing behavior and emotional responses.

• thalmus

• hypothalmus

• pit gland

• hippocampus

• amygdala

thalmus

sensory processing center of the brain

hypothalmus

secretes hormones to regulate homeostasis.

pit guard

releases hormones and directs other glands in the endocrine system.

hippocampus

aides in memory formation

amygdala

emotion processing center particularly for fear and depression.

Cerebral Cortex

responsible for higher brain functions such as thought, reasoning, and processing sensory information.

corpus callosum

connecting bridge for both hemispheres of the brain

occpitial lobe

part that dictates sight

temporal lobe

processes auditory cues

parietal lobe

processes touch cues

prefrontal

aids in planning and decision making (control), located in the very front.

broca’s area

controls the ability to speak/produce speech (found in the frontal lobe)

wernickes area

controls the ability to understand language (located in the left temporal lobe)

cerebral cortex

the outer layer of the brain responsible for complex thought processes, sensory perception, and voluntary muscle movements.
