Our brain is the supreme coordination centre in body.Our skull protects it from any kind of external force.This hard bone which is in the skull and also protect us from damage is called cranium.
Our brain is divided into three parts:-
1.Fore brain
2.Mid brain
3.hind brain
Let us now understand the function of each part of brain one by one:-
1.Forebrain
This part of brain is mainly consist of cerebrum.Cerebrum is responsible for thinking activity in our brain.It provides us various faculties like reasoning,learning,our personality,intelligence also memory.Our thoughts,movement and sensation is also regulated by this part of our brain.Different areas are assigned in different parts of cerebrum to perform different actions.Association areas are reserved for memory and thinking.These areas also collect informations and experiences from outer world.Sensory areas are reserved to sense the information from our senses like ears,eyes,nose,skin and tongue.Similarly,some areas are also reserved for motor instruction in the cerebrum of our brain.All kind of voluntary actions are performed by cerebrum of our brain.
2.Midbrain
All kind of reflex movements are controlled by our mid brain.For example:- changing of pupil size in the dark is a reflex action.All these types of action which we can not control voluntarily is regulated by our mid brain.
3.Hindbrain
There are three parts in our hindbrain.
These three parts are:-
1.Pons
2.cerebellum
3.Medulla
The main function of pons is to control our respiration system.Breathing high and low is regulated by pons.They can detect the availability of oxygen and tiredness in our body.
Cerebellum is responsible for maintaining good posture and balance of our body.Precisions in our movement is performed by cerebellum.All kinds of activities like dancing,walking and riding a bike is coordinated by cerebellum of our hind brain.
Medulla is responsible for the coordination of all kind of involuntary actions such as heart beat and blood pressure etc.Medulla is also a control hub for reflexes such as swallowing ,sneezing,coughing,vomiting and secreation of saliva.
Our brain contains millions of nerve cells for carrying millions of messages from the brain to the brain.We can see these nerve cells under high magnified microscope or on the internet.
