The Lobes of the Brain and How Each Lobe Functions Kwame Opoku Science Mrs. Loach May 19, 2014 What does the brain control in general? The brain is the control center for all body functions. The brain controls the physical movements, the five senses, and heart rate. Also, the brain controls all of our thinking functions, and how we react to things, and emotions. The brain gives us the ability to speak, imagine new things, and to problem solve. The brain controls the digestion of food
Scientists have identified four major sections (or lobes) of the brain. There is a fifth section identified that is contained on the inside of the brain and cannot be seen from the external sections. The four lobes are found on both hemispheres (the two halves identified in the brain). The four lobes are the frontal, parietal (the upper portion), temporal (lower portion), and occipital (the farthest back section). The frontal lobe is in charge of the more complex processes and forms of thinking.
the brain, to our body besides other important parts like the heart, lungs, and other organs. It’s used for more than one role like the other type of organs. On the contrary the brain helps with hearing, seeing, learning, feeling, and etc. We would be lost without the brain and dead of course, without all the effort the brain does the human body wouldn’t be completed. The brain is not just as simple as it looks, like a big piece of a strange looking ball form but there’s more to it. The brain is
The brain, debatably most important organ of the body, only weighs about three pounds. Two crucial parts of the brain are the cerebrum and the cerebellum. The cerebrum holds four main lobes, named the frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital. This part of the brain is responsible for thought and perception. The cerebellum has two hemispheres, and it's responsible for coordination, balance and posture. Without these two sections of the brain, perceiving the world around us would be rather impossible
The brain is the perception responder and critical thought processor. Along with the brain’s control of all physical action and coordination, it has all control over emotional response and impulse. The brain’s dictation of all normality and actions made are only a small concentration of what the brain is truly capable of and scientists are working towards expanding this theory. This has been such a controversial issue, compiled with the hopeful idea of a cure for brain disease, a daunting possibility
The brain is an incredible part of our body and it controls everything from body coordination, thinking processes, and regulating body functions. The brain has enough energy to power a 25watt bulb. Now that’s power! The brain is composed of the cerebrum (and its lobes), the thalamus, hypothalamus, brainstem and cerebellum. The cerebrum consists of the; frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and the occipital lobe. It’s the largest part of the brain and accumulates 85 percent of the weight. (1)
The Cerebrum To begin with, the human brain is the most complex part of the human body. It has control to every organ because of a primary functional unit which is the neurons. The exterior part of the brain has specific functions to every organ in the human body. Therefore, the human brain is the most important organ in the human body. A person can be left brained or right brained according to how they act. The Cerebellum is the trilobed structure of the brain. The cerebellum helps provide smooth
The human brain consists on the left cerebral hemisphere and the right cerebral hemisphere, which signifies the control of the four lobes and its functions. The left cerebral hemisphere is an important section of the brain with the usage of speech, reading, and writing skills. The right cerebral hemisphere is also an important section as to the development of understanding, paying attention, and expressing emotions. Then within each cerebral hemisphere are four major areas call the Frontal, Parietal
network of cells that take messages from the brain and spinal cord to other parts of the body. The nervous system is made up of the Central Nervous System and the Peripheral Nervous System. The Central Nervous System has two main parts; the brain and the spinal cord. While the Peripheral Nervous System has the Somatic and the Autonomic Nervous systems included with in it. The Central NS is broken down by two parts the brain and the spinal cord. The brain is protected by the scull and has a mushroom
hippocampus,the parietal lobe the occipital lobe the temporal the frontal lobe the amygdala the Wernicke's area and the spinal cord. This is there specific purposes. The frontal lobe, The frontal lobe is a crucial part of the central nervous system and also one of the parts of the brain that take the longest to develop The rational part of a teen’s brain isn’t fully developed and won’t be until age 25 or so. In fact, recent research has found that adult and teen brains
The cerebrum is located at the anterior-most part of the brain and is responsible for the combination of complex sensory and neural functions, as well as the initiation and coordination of voluntary activity in the body. It is the largest brain structure in humans and makes up two-thirds of the total mass of the brain (“Cerebrum Anatomy”, 2015). Its surface, a covering made up of grey matter usually 2-4mm thick, is called the cerebral cortex and is mainly made up of the cell bodies of neurons. The
Brain Tumors and How They Affect Different Locations of the Brain The effects of a brain tumor are diverse depending on where it is located. This is because there are four lobes in the brain and each lobe controls different functions. To some people this topic may seem soporific or recondite. However, learning about how a tumor forms, the symptoms it can cause, and the different ways to get rid of it can be exciting and lucid. The exact cause of a tumor is an enigma, but scientists have scrutinized
example of one part of the human body lies inside of the nervous system, your brain. Your brain is divided into three main parts which are the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. The brain has multiple functions in addition to it being pretty remarkable. According to Brain Anatomy, the average human brain weighs about three pounds or 1,300-1,400 grams. Your brain is the basic control center for your entire body. The brain itself has numerous types of jobs. A few of these would include its ability to
The brain is such a complex and interesting thing to learn about. I learned a lot through the three- dimensional brain activity. Starting with the frontal lobe. The frontal lobes are located under the forehead. These lobes play a key role in movement and reasoning. They are also connected with the limbic system. The parietal lobe is at the top of the head. The parietal lobe gets its intel from the skin, it is very important to processing touch and helping determine how hot or cold it is and the pain
part of their brain. This part of the brain is called the prefrontal cortex and this is located in the frontal lobe. Before, a person can understand how the brain processes multitasking they must understand the anatomy of the brain and what parts of the brain are being used during multitasking.
hemispheres are divided into four lobes; the frontal, partials, occipital and temporal. The Frontal Lobe: Is the anterior part of cerebral hemisphere of the cerebrum of the brain, extending back to region called the central sulcus is a deep cleft on the upper surface of the brain. The frontal lobe is for intelligence which carries out high mental procedures such as thinking, judgment making, and forecasting. The human body uses their frontal lobe nearly every day. The frontal lobe
Frontal Lobe serves to regulate higher intellectual functions such as reasoning, thoughts, and the behaviors within human beings (Frontal Lobe MedicineNet). It is the home to the personality of a person and the ability to communicate with other humans. The frontal lobe is also responsible for all of the primary motor functions, or the ability to move muscles, and two key areas related to speech. The frontal lobe is larger and more developed in humans than any other organism (Frontal Lobe Anatomy)
The brain, is one of the most vital organ inside any human body that is required, in order to perform any functions for life. The brain is the commander in notifying the human body what to remember, listen, where to move, and other various roles. However, the brain contains other individual parts that form the brain in order to perform these individual tasks. The individual parts is what the brain requires in order to perform any processes. The society of neuroscience in an article states, “The

The Central Nervous System has two main parts; the brain and the spinal cord. While the Peripheral Nervous System has the Somatic and the Autonomic Nervous systems included within it. The Central NS is broken down by two parts the brain and the spinal cord. The brain is protected by the scull and has a mushroom like shape. The brain has four
