THE PARTS OF THE BRAIN

  • The frontal lobe
  • The parietal lobe

  • The occipital lobe

PARTS OF THE BRAIN (2)

  • Brain stem
  • Cerebellum

The temporal lobe

  • Heps you learn
  • Hearing
  • Language

The brain stem

The brain stem

  • It conects the brain to the spinal cord
  • Controls heart rate
  • Breathing
  • Eating
  • Sleeping

Cerebellum

Cerebellum

  • Timing
  • Posture
  • Force
  • Steadyness
  • Range

The spinal chord

Nerve highway

Parts of the spinal cord

The Nerves

The bodys mailman

The Nerves
