Health science Anatomy of the brain

sleep cycles (glands)

pineal gland

reasoning

cerebrum

balance and coordination

Cerebellum

connecting left and right hemisphere

corpus callosum

visual and auditory data processing

mid brain

regulation of breathing and heart rate

medulla oblongata

maintaining homeostasis by directing the pituitary

hypothalamus

body orientation and eye movement

superior colliculus

relays information to the correct area of the brain

thalamus

regulates sleep cycles, respiratory processes nd motor control

pons

(p.)

help regulate sleep, breath and communication

(hy.)

maintaining homeostasis by controlling temp, hunger, thirst

(th.)

relay station, sending sensory information

(c.c.)

connect the left and right hemisphere so they can communicate

(pt.)

release hormones that control other glands in the body

(pl.)

produce melatonin to regulate sleep cycles

(s.c.)

help control eye movement, visual reflexes

(m.o.)

control vital function like heart rate, blood pressure

(m.)

movement and visual auditory information

occipital

processing visual information from the eyes.

frontal

decision-making, problem-solving, and planning.

parietal

processing sensory information, spatial awareness, and aspects of language and mathematical reasoning, helping the brain understand and interact with the surrounding environment.

What does frontal lobe do

Personality, behavior, emotion, speaking ,speech, body movement, self awareness,

What does parietal lobe do

Interpret language, word, sense of touch, pain, temperature, memory

What does occipital lobe do

Interpret vision, color , light

What do temporal lobe do under the brain

Memory, hearing, understanding language, sequencing, and organization

What is forebrain

one of the largest and most complex part in the brain

What is the midbrain

A master coordinator for all messages going in and out the brain to the spinal cord

What is the hindbrain

Balance, movement, coordination
