Part of the brain
Function
Cerebrum
The cerebrum is the centre of intelligence, memory, consciousness, will power and voluntary actions.
Thalamus
The thalamus relays pain and pressure impulses to the cerebrum.
Hypothalamus
The hypothalamus controls the body temperature and the activity of the pituitary gland.
Midbrain
This small tube-like part is responsible for reflexes involving the eyes and ears.
Cerebellum
The cerebellum coordinates muscular activity and balance of the body.
Pons varolii
The pons varolii carries impulses from one hemisphere to the other hemisphere and coordinates muscular movements on both sides of the body.
Medulla oblongata
The medulla oblongata controls the activities of the internal organs, heartbeat and breathing.
The cerebral cortex is divided into 4 lobes-frontal lobe, temporal lobe, occipital lobe and parietal lobe.
- Frontal lobe – behaviour, intelligence, memory and movement
- Parietal lobe- intelligence, language, reading and sensation
- Temporal lobe- behaviour, hearing, memory, speech, vision
- Occipital lobe- vision
