The Brain - Divisions

The brain is divided into different regions that are each responsible for a series of of processes. These parts are:

• Cerebellum: Not a part of the brain, however, it's very related to it. It is responsible for equilibrium, unconscious coordination of posture, reflexes and motor skills -- when you kick a ball for example, your cerebellum is working so that your body find a posture whether you won't fall and still kick the ball.
• Medulla Oblongata: Medulla oblongata is related specially with automatic, involuntary responses, such as heart rate, constriction of the blood vessels, blood pressure, rate and depth of breathing, swallowing and coughing.
• Pons: The pons is known to be a very important relay centre.
• Thalamus: Thalamus is known as the greater relay center of the brain.
• Hypothalamus: Hypothalamus is a very important part of the brain. It participates in the coordination some involuntary response, such as blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, thirsty, hunger, and emotions. The hypothalamus is also the major link that connect the nervous system with the endocrine system.
• Cerebrum: The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain. It is responsible for our intellect, memory, consciousness, and language.
