BRAIN POWER!

Being some what of a  procrastinator makes me wonder if this has to do with some weird condition I may have in my brain. But NO Your Brain is the Boss of your body! The brain has many different parts that work together. There are five main parts :

• Cerebrum
• Cerebellum
• Brain Stem
• Pituitary
• Hypothalamus

Each part of the brain plays a different role.

Cerebrum

The largest part of your brain that functions for determining intelligence, determining personality, thinking, perceiving, language, sense,motor function, and planning and organization.  It covers the upper most part of the brain. 

Cerebellum

The Cerebellum is the hind part of the brain . It contains hundreds to millions of neurons, and relays on motor control. It is involved in  the functions of fine movement coordination,  balance and equilibrium,  and muscle tone. 

Brain Stem

The brain stem is the region that connects the cerebellum to the spine cord. Motor and sensory neurons travel through the brain stem. It accounts for breathing, blood pressure, digestion, heart rate, and other automatic functions.

Pituitary

The Pituitary is involved in hormone production. It is divided up into three glands which are all involved in the hormonal production. It helps with the functions of growth, blood pressure, pregnancy, breast milk production, sex organ, thyroid gland, metabolism, temperature regulation, and pain relief. 

Hypothalamus 

The Hypothalamus links the nervous system to the endocrine system. It is located below the thalamus, just above the brain stem. 

The brain is a beautiful thing and it helps spark our curiosity! I hope this blog post educated you a bit on the parts of the brain!
