The Cerebrum

The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain.The cerebrum is the thinking part of the brain. It controls memory. You use your cerebrum to make decisions and imagine. The cerebrum controls voluntary muscles; the muscles you use when you kick a soccer ball or dance. The cerebrum also makes it possible for you to see, hear, taste, touch and smell.

The cerebrum has two halves, known as the left and right hemispheres. It is covered with a layer of nerve cells, called the cortex. The cortex is involved in many complex brain functions including memory ,perceptual awareness, thinking and language. The right side of the cortex controls muscle activities in the left side of the body, and the left side of the cortex controls activities on the right side of the body.

The Brain

Your brain is the computer control center for your body. It is not one mass, but it is divided into parts. One of the smaller parts is the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus controls automatic body functions,like digestion.  

The three main parts of the brain are the medulla, cerebellum and,cerebrum. The medulla and the cerebellum are at the base of the cerebrum. The medulla is connected to the top of the large bundle of nerves running down through the spine, called the spinal cord. The medulla controls involuntary movements,such as the beating of your heart.
