There are 3 basic divisions of the human brain that consist of multiple structures within themselves. The first is the forebrain. The forebrain surrounds the rostral end of the neural tube and contains the lateral and third ventricle. The subdivision of the lateral ventricle is called the telencephalon. This is a highly developed section of the brain that consists of the cerebral hemisphere. The subdivision of the third ventricle is called the diencephalon. Inside these subdivisions there are five different principle structures. The first is the cerebral cortex. The cerebral cortex is the outer layer of the cerebrum. It is also sometimes referred to as grey matter. A second structure would be the basal ganglia. These are responsible for the coordination of movement. The third …show more content…
The second division is called the midbrain. This consists of the cerebral aqueduct. It connects the third ventricle to the fourth ventricle and contains cerebrospinal fluid. The subdivision here is the mesencephalon. This is the area that controls vision, hearing, motor control, sleep and wakefulness, arousal and temperature regulation. The primary structure in the midbrain is called the tectum tegmentum which is in control of auditory and visual reflexes. Last but not least is the hindbrain. The fourth ventricle is in this part of the brain and there are two subdivisions. The first is metencephalon, and the second is the myelencephalon. The metencephalon gives way to the cerebellum and the pons. The cerebellum receives information from the sensory systems and develops it. This is responsible for things like posture, balance, coordination and speech. The pons are the bridge between the cerebellum and the cerebrum among other things. The third principle structure of the hindbrain is called the medulla oblongata. This is the structure that transfers messages to the spinal cord and the
There are 4 main parts of the brain. Each part of the brain is responsible for different systems in our body.
Another locate area referred to the brain stem that has inside pons, medulla, and celebellum. Pituitary gland was attached to our braine. Cingulate Gyrus, Lateral ventrice, fornix, septum pellucidum, cerebral acqueduct. and tegmentum are part we can see in the dissection of sheep braine.
The regions N, M, L and O are included in the cerebrum. These regions are the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, and temporal lobes.
The body is controlled down to its core by the central nervous system. The central nervous system consists of the brain and the spinal cord. Both of these are made up by white and gray matter. The brain which has gray matter on the outside and white matter on the inside is responsible for processing the information that it receives from the nerves and spinal cord, sending out responses, and coordinating motor functions. The spinal cord is opposite of the brain and has gray matter on the inside and white on the out. The spinal cord conducts the information or messages it receives from the brain to the body and sends its “research” back to the brain for processing.
The cerebrum consists of two hemispheres, separated by a deep fissure called the Corpus Callosum, the hemispheres are divided into four lobes; the frontal, partials, occipital and temporal.
An adult person who is illiterate and tries to read shows profound changes in deep brain. It came from a study where researchers helped illiterate woman from North India to read. In addition, the illiterate woman had scanned their brain before and after learning to read. The researchers found a big change in the brain after the women learned to read. They conclude that the brain of an adult is not flexible. The plasticity still actives in adult age.
The left and right hemispheres of the brain are each divided into sections. Within each sections are lobes, controlling such processes as our visualization, our movement, and our personalities. For instance, the occipital lobe in the back of our brain is responsible for processing vision, and the frontal lobe behind our forehead controls cognition and personality. The lobes of the brain are split between the right and left hemispheres of the brain. This well-designed arrangement is for the lobes to function correctly, so the two hemispheres of the brain can communicate with one
In The article “Brainology” “Carol S Dweck, a professor of psychology at Stanford University, differentiates between having a fixed and growth mindset in addition how these mindsets have a deep effect on a student’s desire to learn. Individuals who have a fixed mindset believe they are smart without putting in effort and are afraid of obstacles, lack motivation, and their focus is to appear smart.. In contrast, students with a growth mindset learn by facing obstacles and are motivated to learn. Dwecks argues that students should develop a growth mindset.
The brain has many different parts to it which help one function through daily life; parts such as the cerebrum which controls voluntary movement and regulates functions such as thinking, speaking and the ability to recall information. The cerebellum controls the balance and coordination and finally the brain stem, which consists of the medulla oblongata and the spinal cord which controls all involuntary functions such as breathing, heart rate and blood pressure. The brain stem is also able to carry out these actions even when someone is asleep. To fully understand how crucial the brain is to survival one must understand the functions of the brain stem.

This paper involves how the brain and neurons works. The target is to display the brain and neurons behavior by sending signals. The nervous system that sends it like a text message. This becomes clear on how we exam in the brain. The techniques show how the brain create in order for the nerves about 100 billion cells. Neurons in the brain may be the only fractions of an inch in length. How powerful the brain could be while controlling everything around in. When it’s sending it signals to different places, and the neurons have three types: afferent neurons, efferent neurons, and the interneurons. In humans we see the old part of emotions which we create memories plus our brain controls heart beating, and breathing. The cortex helps us do outside of the brain touch, feel, smell, and see. It’s also our human thinking cap which we plan our day or when we have to do something that particular day. Our neurons are like pin head. It’s important that we know how our brain and neurons play a big part in our body. There the one’s that control our motions, the way we see things. Each neuron has a job to communicate with other neurons by the brain working network among each cell. Neurons are almost like a forest where they sending chemical signals. Neurons link up but they don’t actually touch each other. The synapses separates there branches. They released 50 different neurons.
Almost all animals have a nervous system. Neurons bundle together to form nerves. The purpose of the nervous system is to coordinate all activities of the body, and enables the body to respond and adapt to changes both inside and outside. The central nervous and the peripheral nervous systems are very similar but different at the same time. The CNS is made up of the brain and spinal cord and functions mainly to process information and determine the appropriate responses. The central nervous system receives sensory information, figures out a response, and initiates a motor response if appropriate. The CNS is protected by the skull, vertebral column, and a membrane. The spinal cord provides communication between the brain and the peripheral nerves
The area at the front of the brain is the largest. Most of it is known as the cerebrum. It controls all of the movements that you have to think about, thought and memory.
The nervous system’s main function is to coordinate all of the activities in the body. The main organs are the cerebellum, which controls and coordinates movement. The cerebrum, is the center for conscious thought, learning, and memory. The last main organ is the brain stem. The brain stem keeps the automatic systems in your body working. Problems of the nervous system include, epilepsy, Alzheimer’s, and multiple sclerosis. You can care for your nervous system by wearing a seatbelt, wearing a helmet, and by not using drugs or alcohol. Something very confusing about the nervous system is that the left side of human brain controls the right side of the body and the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body!
