The biggest part of the brain is the cerebrum which is located in the front and upper part of your brain.
The cerebrum is also responsible for a white range of functions which include emotion, language, sensory perception, movement and reasoning and thoughts.
The cerebrum part of the brain comprises of gray matter also known as the cerebral cortex and white matter at it's center.
The cerebrum which is the largest part of the brain initiates and coordinates movement and also regulates temperature.
The skull is what protects the brain and the skull is a hard bony structure which encases the brain and protects it from external impacts.
And three layers of membranes that are called meninges cover your brain and your spinal cord and provide a protective cushion and contain cerebrospinal fluid.
The cerebrospinal fluid is a clear fluid that fills the spaces within your meninges and also surrounds your brain and provides shock absorption and buoyancy.
A blood brain barrier which is a network of capillaries which lines your brain tissue restricts the entry of any harmful substances which include viruses, bacteria and toxins.
Your immune system also plays a role in protecting your brain by detecting and also eliminating pathogens which might try to enter your brain.
Your brain also has the ability to adjust it's blood flow to maintain a constant supply of nutrients and oxygen and even during any changes in heart rate and blood pressure.
The 7 main functions of the brain are sensory processing, cognition, motor control, regulation of bodily functions, language and memory.
The brain is a complex organ in the body that controls hunger, breathing, temperature, vision, motor skills, touch, memory, thought and every other process that regulates and controls out body.
How our brain works is through receiving sensory information, processing the sensory information, initiating motor responses, sending motor information and sending the motor information to the body.
The first step in how the brain works is the brain receives sensory information from your body through your spinal cord.
The next step in how the brain works is the brain then processes that sensory information.
The 3rd step in how the brain works is the brain then initiates the motor responses which are appropriate to the sensory information.
The 4th step in how the brain works is the brain then sends the motor information to your spinal cord.
And the 5th step in how the brain works is the spinal cord sends the motor information to your body through your peripheral nervous system.
The parts of the brain are the occipital lobes, the temporal lobes, the frontal lobes, the parietal lobes, the limbic system, the brain stem, the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland and the pineal gland.
The brains occipital lobes process visual information from your eyes.
The temporal lobes process information about hearing, language and your memory.
The frontal lobes plan actions.
The parietal lobes coordinate actions.
The limbic system processes memory and emotions.
The brain stem is what controls involuntary muscles and also life sustaining functions of the body such as digestion and breathing.
The hypothalamus is what wakes you up and releases adrenaline in the body.
The pineal gland is what helps to control sleep and circadian rhythms.
And the pituitary gland helps control the body's growth, body temperature, childbirth and pregnancy.
