The brain is the boss of your body,the control centre of your body. It is responsible for every single thing you do. The brain is found inside the brain box called the skull;it has many parts and each part has it's own functions which is translated in our day-to-day actions. Let's go into the brain!!!

.

Your brain is divided into 3 major regions the hindbrain, midbrain and forebrain

THE FOREBRAIN:this part of the brain consists of cerebrum, thalamus and hypothalamus

-The cerebrum:this is also referred to as the cerebral hemisphere. it is the largest part of the brain and is also divided into the left and right hemisphere. The left hemisphere is in control of the right part of the body while the right hemisphere is in charge of the left part of the body;the left hemisphere is responsible for spoken and written words, languages, reasoning, scientific and numerical skills,the right hemisphere has the charge of musical and artistic appreciations, sense of humour, imagination and creating mental images. The outer layer of these hemispheres is known as the cerebral cortex. The cerebral cortex controls your thinking, feeling sensations, stores memory, feels emptions.

-The thalamus:it functions as the centre for control of pain,pressure and human consciousness.

-Hypothalamus:this is the central part of the brain,it controls the ability of your body to regulate body temperature, your ability to taste, regulation of water in the body; it also controls speeches, sleepiness and wakefulness.

MIDBRAIN:this is the portion of the brain which connects the hindbrain and forebrain. it's in charge of visual and auditory responses.

THE HINDBRAIN:the hindbrain consists of cerebellum, medulla oblangata, pons

-Cerebellum:this is the coordination centre for skeletal muscle activities,it controls hearing, body posture and balance.

-Medulla Oblangata:it possesses control centres for heart beat,breathing,salivation,swallowing,circulation,coughing and sneezing. it also controls sleep,cerebral activities and loss of consciousness. so here you should know the medulla oblangata is a centre that controls all involuntary activities we carry out.

-Pons:the connect the spinal cord to the brain and it is also nth centre where nerves from the right part of the body crosses to the left part and vice versa.

Other parts and their functions include:

-Pituitary gland also called the master gland because it controls all other glands and stimulates the glands to secrete hormones controlling growth.

-Meninges:these helps in the supply of nutrients and oxygen to the brain

-Cerebral fluid:contains food and oxygen which nourishes the brain cells.

-Optic lobes:this interprets what we see with our eyes.

You have seen parts of the brain and their functions,next topic will be on what you should do so your brain be healthy so it gives you the top of it's performances.
