Located at the bottom of the brain & connects the cerebellum to the spinal cord

Controls motor and sensory pathways, cardiac and respiratory functions and reflexes

Located at the lower back of the head and is connected to the brain stem

2nd largest structure of the brain and is made up of two hemispheres

controls complex motor functions such as walking balance, posture, and general motor coordination

Largest part of the brain

It has 2 halves, each controlling the opposite side of the body

4 lobes make up the 2 halves, the frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital

it is associated with conscious thought, movement and sensation

Located in the middle, top part of the brain

Control movement in various body parts

in the back of the head

controls vision

One of 4 lobes of the cerebral hemisphere

controls tactile sensations, response to internal stimuli, some language, reading and some visual functions

small, bean size organ located at the base of the brain

secreates many essential hormones for growth and sexual maturation

Middle of Brain

Receives information from the spinal column about the sense of touch, pressure and pain

perceives the position of body parts and movement

1 of 4 lobes in the cerebral hemisphere

controls auditory and visual memories, language, hearing speech language and some behavior

Located near the center of the brain

Controls input and output to and from the brain

sensation of pain and attention

part of temporal lobe

assists in understanding and formulating speech

damage in this area causes deficits in understanding spoken language

Cerebrospinal Fluid 

(CSF)

Clear substand that circulates the brain and spinal cord

provides nutrients and cushions the brain

a brain tumor can cause a buildup or blockage of CSF
