|
cerebrum |
largest part of the brain that interprets all the senses including taste, touch, sight, smell, and hearing. other areas of the cerebrum are in charge of decision making, movement and speech |
|
|
cerebellum |
2nd largest part of the brain. controls basic movement, balance and posture |
|
|
brain stem |
it's made up of the Pons and Medulla Oblongota. it connects the cerebrum to the cerebellum and the spinal cord. the brain stem is VITAL to survive because it control involuntary responses, like breathing |
|
|
frontal lobe |
think and create. at the back of the frontal lobe lies the motor area which is responsible for controlling the body's movement |
|
|
parietal lobe |
help us find our way and recognize objects and their uses. located in the front part of the parietal lobes lies most of the sensory area |
|
|
occipital lobe |
where messages from the eyes are received and interpreted |
|
|
temporal lobe |
regulates our hearing, speech, and memory |
|
|

the science that deals with protecting and improving the health of the people in a community ex: obesity |
