The second largest part of our BRAIN
is the Cerebellum,,
which lies beneath the back of the Cerebrum.. The Cerebellum is responsible for
coordinating muscle movement and controlling our balance.. Consisting of both
grey and white matter,, the Cerebellum transmits information to the spinal cord
and other parts of the brain..
There are the two major sections are the thalamus & hypothalamus.. The thalamus acts as a relay station for
incoming nerve impulses from around the body that are then forwarded to the
appropriate brain region for processing.. The hypothalamus controls hormone
secretions from the nearby pituitary gland.. These hormones govern growth and
instinctual behaviour such as eating,, drinking,, anger,, and reproduction..
The BRAIN STEM,, controls reflexes and crucial,, basic life
functions such as heart rate,, breathing,, and blood pressure.. It also
regulates when you feel sleepy or awake..
Our BRAIN is very sensitive and
delicate,, and so requires maximum protection.. This is provided by the
surrounding skull and three tough membranes.. The spaces between these membranes
are filled with fluid that cushions the brain and keeps it from being damaged
by contact with the inside of the skull..
