 6. Generalization

Central Nervous System (CNS) is the complex of nerve tissues that

controls the activity of the body. It comprises the brain and spinal cord.
Brain is an organ of soft nervous tissue contained in the skull of
vertebrates, functioning as the coordinating center of sensation and
intellectual and nervous activity.
Brain has three main parts Cerebrum, Cerebellum, Brainstem.
Cerebrum is large, upper part of the brain that controls activity and thought.
Cerebellum is the part under the cerebrum that controls posture, balance,
and coordination. Brain stem is the part that connects the brain to the spinal
cord and controls automatic functions.
Spinal cord serves as a channel for signals between the brains and the
rest of the body.

III. EVALUATION

List down the functions and parts of the brain.
