Back 12

Primitive or reptilian brain - found at the base of the brain over the back of the neck and underneath the limbic system. This structure is responsible for basic vital life functions such as breathing, heartbeat, and blood pressure - it is our life support system and controls the basic biological functions that keep us alive

Front 13

Brain stem

Back 13

The most primitive region of the brain in the lowest region that connects the spinal cord responsible for basic body functions in attention and arousal levels

Front 14

Medulla oblongata

Back 14

Where most neural fibers cross and in between the pons and spinal cord. It is responsible for maintaining vital body functions, such as breathing, heart rate, blood flow, respiration, digestion, vomiting

Front 15

Reticular activating system

Back 15

Part of the brainstem involved in arousal and attention, sleep and wakefulness, and control of reflexes - located inside the brain stem, between the ears and in a finger shaped network of neurons that extends from the spinal cord, through the pons, right up to the thalamus

Front 16

Cerebellum

Back 16

Also called the little brain, and is similar to the cerebellum in that it has two hemispheres and has a highly folded surface. Processes sensory information to regulate and Korean 8 voluntary movement, posture, Balance
