Parts Of The Brain

The brain is divided into three parts. You basically live in your brain and it controls your body.

1. Cerebellum: The cerebellum is capable of muscle balance and coordination, like walking.
   
2. Brain stem: Basic life support. The brain stem is in charge of things like breathing, heart beats, and blood pressure that keep you alive.
   
3. Cerebrum: Performs higher functions like understanding touch, vision and hearing, as well as speech, reasoning, emotions, learning, and fine control of movement. It is composed of the following:
   • Frontal lobe: The frontal lobe is capable of thinking, speaking, personality and learning.
   • Parietal lobe: The parietal lobe decodes massages, such as touch, smell, hearing, taste, sight, direction (GPS) and movement.
   • Occipital lobe: The occipital lobe is capable of vision, color and shapes.
   • Temporal lobe: The temporal lobe is capable of hearing and understanding speech.
