The document discusses the structure and function of the human brain. It identifies the major parts of the brain including the cerebrum, cerebellum, medulla, spinal cord, and neurons. The cerebrum controls voluntary movement and the senses. The cerebellum controls balance, posture, and coordination. The medulla connects the brain to the spinal cord. The document also briefly discusses brain disorders like hydrocephalus and how the left and right hemispheres process different types of information.
The Brain
- 2. The students will know ¡¡ The importance and function of the brain The student will be able to¡ Identify the parts of the brain
- 3. ? Most complex organ of the body ? Only weighs 1,300 grams ? Contains billions of neural networks that interact to create human behaviour
- 9. Cerebrum ¨CIt is the largest part of the brain which controls the voluntary movement and detects touch, light, sound, odor, taste, pain, heat and cold Left Hemisphere Right Hemisphere
- 10. Two Cerebral Hemispheres ?Left Hemisphere ?Processes things more in parts and sequentially ?Musicians process music in left hemisphere ?Right Hemisphere ?Music and Arts have been considered right-brain "frills" but trained musicians use more left-brain and novice musicians use more right. ?Higher-level mathematicians, problem solvers, and chess players actually have more right-brained activity, but beginners use more left brain.
- 11. Cerebellum ¨CIt controls balance, posture, and coordination. It also sends impulses to different skeletal muscles, to make them contract, keeping you upright.
- 12. Medulla - It is a part of a brain that connects to the spinal cord
- 13. Spinal cord ¨CIt is a bundle of nerve tissues extending from the brain through the backbone.
- 15. Brain Disorders
- 16. Hydrocephalus ¨CIt is an abnormal increase of the cerebrospinal fluid inside the skull, making the brain enlarged.

Editor's Notes
- #7: The brain is connected with a cranium or skull.it composed of cells called neurons In which it carry electrical signals called impulses.the spinal cord is connected to the brain in which it helps send neurons to different parts
- #8: How important to know the different parts of the human brain?
- #10: The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain and fills the entire upper portion of the cranium. It consists of the 2 cerebral hemispheres and sits atop of, and surrounds the brainstem leading to the spinal cord. Typically for most people the left hemisphere is dominant
- #11: Left brains ¨C controls language,speech,critical thinking Right brains- performing art and music
- #13: It controls your blood pressure, heart rate, involuntary breathing and some involuntary activities.
- #14: Messages from the brain moves down the spinal cord
- #15: How we can take care of this organ?
- #16: This injury came from a hard hit resulting in a temporary disturbance in the brain function, sometimes with unconscious and confusion
- #20: What are the different parts of the brain? What are the ways to make our brain healthy? How will you apply the knowledge you¡¯ve learned to your daily activities?
