Thus, the brain and spinal cord together make up the central nervous system or (CNS).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, you&#8217;ll be astonished to know that 60% of the brain comprises human fat. At the same time, the remaining 40% is a combination of water, protein, salts and carbohydrates. In addition, the brain is the essential organ of the human body, which connects all other organs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The brain allows us to receive information through our five senses: smell, sight, touch, taste and hearing. And, there are three parts of the brain, namely, the cerebrum, cerebellum and brainstem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>Also Read<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.homeworkminutes.com\/blog\/learning\/how-to-write-a-paragraph-paragraph-writing-in-detail\/\"><b>How to Write a Paragraph | Paragraph Writing In Detail<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.homeworkminutes.com\/blog\/learning\/g7-summit-2021-meaning-origin-and-countries\/\"><b>G7 Summit 2021: Meaning, Origin and Countries<\/b><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Parts of the Brain and their Functions<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we have mentioned earlier, the human brain is divided into three parts. So let us know more about them and how these organs function.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Cerebrum<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain and consists of the right and left hemispheres. In addition, it performs essential functions like hearing, touch, sight, emotions, learning, speech etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, the cerebrum is divided into two halves: the left hemisphere and the right hemisphere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Right brain- Left brain<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The right and left<\/span><b> c<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">erebrum of the hemispheres are joined by the bundle of fibres known as the corpus callosum, which transfers messages from one part of the brain to another. So if a stroke occurs on the right or left side of the brain, then that particular side of arms and legs gets paralyzed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But not all functions of hemispheres are similar. Like left hemisphere controls speech, arithmetic and writing. On the other hand, the right hemisphere controls spatial ability, musical and creative skills. The cerebrum is divided into four lobes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Lobes of the Brain<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cerebral hemispheres divide the brain into lobes. And each hemisphere has four lobes, namely, frontal, parietal, occipital and temporal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frontal Lobe<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The frontal lobe interprets emotions, speech, behaviour, body movement, judgment, problem-solving, and intelligence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parietal Lobe\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The parietal lobe interprets the language, touch, sense of pain, vision, hearing, memory, spatial ability and visual perception.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Occipital Lobe<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This part of the brain is mainly responsible for interpreting the vision (light, movement, colour).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Temporal Lobe<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The temporal lobe is responsible for language understanding, memory, sequence and organization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Cerebellum<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cerebellum is located just under the cerebrum. Its main functions are to coordinate muscle movements, maintain balance and posture. It is a fist-size part of the brain and is located at the back of the head.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, the cerebellum consists of two hemispheres, just like the cerebral cortex. The outer part contains neurons, whereas the inner area communicates with the cerebral.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Brainstem<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The brainstem acts as a link between the cerebrum and cerebellum to the spinal cord. Its main functions are breathing, heart rate, body temperature, wake and sleep cycles, digestion, sneezing, coughing, vomiting, and swallowing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Midbrain:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The midbrain is a complex structure with a range of different neuron clusters like nuclei and colliculi and other structures. So these features allow various functions like hearing and movement to calculating responses and environmental changes.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Pons: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pons acts as a bridge between the midbrain and the medulla. Moreover, it helps in enabling activities like tear production, chewing, blinking, focusing vision, balance, hearing, facial expression etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Medulla: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The medulla is found at the bottom of the brainstem and connects the brain and the spinal cord. This part of the brain regulates functions like heart rhythm, breathing, blood flow, and oxygen and carbon dioxide levels. Also, it produces reflex activities like sneezing, vomiting, coughing and swallowing.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Cells of the Brain<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The brain consists of two cells: Nerve cells(neurons) and Glia cells.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Nerve Cells<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are various sizes and shapes of neurons. But all the neurons consist of a cell body, axon and dendrites. Nerve cells transfer the information through electrical and chemical signals from one part of the brain to another.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, electrical wiring in a home where numerous wires are connected to get electricity at home. Similarly, neurons consist of many arms called dendrites that act like antennae and pick up other nerve cells&#8217; message.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These messages then further pass to the cell body, determining whether the messages need to be passed further along. Lastly, messages arrive at the end of the axon, where sacs containing neurotransmitters open into the synapse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Synapse is a tiny gap through which neurons communicate through the exchange of neurotransmitters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Glial Cells\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Glial (meaning glue) is responsible for providing neurons with nourishment, structural support and protection. Its interesting to know that glia cells are 10-50 times more than nerve cells or neurons, and it is one of the types of cells involves in the occurrence of brain tumours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Astroglia is the caretakers, and they regulate the blood to allow nutrients and to interact with neurons.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oligodendroglia cells produce a fatty substance called myelin that insulates axons and allows chemical messages to travel faster.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ependymal cells create the lining of the ventricles and secrete cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Microglia are the immune cells of the brain, protecting it from invaders and cleaning up debris.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Meninges: Brain Coverings<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The three layers of protective covering are called meninges to surround the brain and the spinal cord.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Dura Mater:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It is the outermost layer which is thick and tough. It consists of two layers: The periosteal layer, which provides a lining for the inner dome of the skull (cranium), and the meningeal layer is below that.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Arachnoid Mater:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It is a thin, weblike layer of connective tissue that does not contain blood vessels or nerves. And below the arachnoid mater is the cerebrospinal fluid or CSF. This fluid provides cushioning for the whole of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and circulates these structures continuously to remove impurities.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Pia Mater:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It&#8217;s a thin membrane that covers the brain&#8217;s surface and follows its contours. In addition, the pia mater is rich with veins and arteries.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Deeper Structures Within the Parts of the Brain<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Pituitary Gland<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pituitary gland is a pea-sized structure, and a part of the brain is found behind the nose&#8217;s bridge. Also, it is known as the &#8220;master gland&#8221;. Moreover, this gland governs the function of other glands in the body, regulating the flow of hormones from the thyroid, adrenals, ovaries and testicles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Hypothalamus<\/b><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hypothalamus is situated above the pituitary gland. Also, it regulates body temperature, sleep patterns, controls hunger and thirst, and plays a role in aspects of memory and emotion.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Amygdala<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amygdala is a small almond-shaped structure that is located under each hemisphere of the brain. In addition, it regulates emotion and memory and is associated with the parts of the brain associated with stress and the &#8220;fight or flight&#8221; response when someone perceives a threat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Hippocampus<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s a seahorse-shaped organ located on the underside of each temporal lobe. It is responsible for memory, learning, navigation and perception of space. And, it receives messages from the cerebral cortex and may play a role in Alzheimer&#8217;s disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Pineal Gland<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pineal gland is situated deep inside the brain and attached to the top of the third ventricle. Moreover, it secretes melatonin, which helps in regulating circadian rhythms and the sleep-wake cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Ventricles and Cerebrospinal Fluid<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ventricles in the brain are four open areas with passageways between them. Also, they open into the central spinal canal and the area beneath the arachnoid layer of the meninges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ventricles produce cerebrospinal fluid or CSF, a watery fluid that circulates in and around the ventricles, spinal cord, and between the meninges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It becomes fascinating to understand the various parts of the brain and the functions these parts perform.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The brain is a complex three-pound organ that controls thought, memory, emotions, touch, breathing etc. There are various parts of the brain in the human&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9692,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_wp_rev_ctl_limit":""},"categories":[60],"tags":[582,581],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Parts of the Brain: Human Brain and its Functions<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"There are various parts of the brain in the human body that regulate bodily functions.
