THE BRAIN

The brain is the main part of the body's nervous system constantly sending signals to the
body. The brain has several different parts working together to help a person live their life
each day. The five main parts of the brain include the cerebrum, cerebellum, brain stem,
pituitary gland, and hypothalamus.
The largest part of the brain is the cerebrum, making up about 85% of the brain's weight.
The cerebrum allows a person to think and control voluntary muscles, which a person is
able to control. A person can kick a ball, walk down, the street, or jump in the air because
they control the muscles and movements.
The cerebrum is active when a person is thinking during a test, making decisions, or
playing a video game. Memory is a part of the cerebrum, including short-term memory,
recalling a morning event, or long-term, a memory from several years ago.
The cerebrum has two halves, one on each side of the head. The right half helps a person
think about abstract things like art, music, colors, shapes, and other parts of the
imagination. The left half is more analytical, which helps a person speak, make logical
decisions, do math problems, and reason. Scientists are unsure about which half of the
brain controls the left or right side of the body.
The cerebellum controls a person's balance, movement, and coordination. This includes
how a person stands, moves, and balances. The cerebellum is located in the back of the
brain under the cerebrum, but it is only about one-eighth the size of the cerebrum, though
it is a vital part of the brain. Without the cerebellum a person would not have very little
ability to move.
The brain stem, also small, is responsible for all of the functions of the body for a person
to remain alive, including breathing, food digestion, and blood circulation. Located below
the cerebrum, in front of the cerebellum, it connects the rest of the brain to a person's
spinal cord. The brain stem controls involuntary muscles, working on their own without
the help or thought. The muscles are located in the heart, stomach or other parts of the
body. It tells the heart to pump blood to the body, and stomach muscles to break food
down. The brain stem is also the pipeline sending and receiving millions of messages back
and forth between the brain and the body.
The pituitary gland controls the growth of a person's body by producing and releasing
hormones into the body. The gland is only the size of a pea, but without it properly
functioning, a person's body would not go through its changes as they get older. The gland
also controls sugars and water in the body, as well as keeping the metabolism of the
body going, which is related to the body's use of energy.
The final part of the brain is the hypothalamus, which basically controls the temperature
of the body. When the body is too hot, this part of the brain tells the body to sweat; too
cold, and it tells the body to shiver.
The five parts of the brain connect with the body's nervous system, made up of thousands
of nerves that communicate information to and from the brain. The more messages sent to
the brain, the stronger the connections become. This is how good, and bad, habits or skills
are learned. The brain also is the control center for feelings. On each side of the brain
there are a groups of cells called amygdala, which is responsible for emotions.
