A. Frontal Lobe – Controls many functions including movement, memory,
language, social behavior, problem solving, making decisions, and also controls
our emotions and directs our personality
B. Cerebrum – The largest part of the brain which is divided into two halves. Each
half contains four lobes
C. Occipital Lobe – Controls visual perception and processes visual information,
including color recognition, and then sends the information to the parietal and
temporal lobes
D. Temporal Lobe – Controls auditory perception, speech, language
comprehension, and also visual recognition
E. Medulla Oblongata – Controls breathing, heartbeat, and other automatic
functions. It also is responsible for sending messages from the brain to the
spinal cord
F. Pons – Responsible for sending sensory information between the cerebrum
and cerebellum. It also wakes you from sleep and triggers dreaming
G. Corpus Callosum – Connects the left and right side of the brain and is
responsible for the communication between the two sides
H. Thalamus – Acts like a transmitter, sending sensory information and relaying
this information to other parts of the brain
I. Hypothalamus – Controls body temperature, thirst, hunger, and emotions
J. Pituitary Gland – This gland is small but very important, controlling hormone
levels as well as the functions of all the other endocrine system glands
K. Cerebellum – Helps in coordinating body movement and maintaining balance
and equilibrium
L. Parietal Lobe – Interprets sensory information such as touch, pressure,
temperature, and pain, and is also involved with language comprehension
