What is the function of cerebrum class 10

• Gray matter, which is named for its gray-brown color, forms the outer surface of the brain and consists of the neurons' cell bodies. This outer layer of gray matter is the cerebral cortex and it is associated with most information processing, including language, perception, and thought. • White matter is an inner core of brain tissue that's mostly composed of axons, or nerve fibers, that are covered by myelin (a type of fat). The myelin gives white matter its white color. The wrinkly outer layer of the cerebrum is called the cerebral cortex and it's all gray matter. The gray matter consists of the central part of nerve cells. The rest of the cerebrum is mostly white matter, which has branches of nerve fibers for sending messages between nerve cells. Lobes The gray matter of the cerebral cortex is divided lengthwise into two halves, separated by a deep crease called the longitudinal fissure. • Frontal lobes reside at the very front of the brain behind the forehead and are responsible for many key functions, such as attention, learning, and speech. The prefrontal cortex (PFC), a forward-facing region of each frontal lobe, allows for planning and complex decision making and is said to house your personality. A rear-facing region is involved in voluntary movements. • Parietal lobes are located near the middle of the brain behind the frontal lobes and are sensory areas that process pain, taste, temperature, and textures along with spatial relationships (such as the distance b...

Overview What is the brain? Your brain is an essential organ. All of your emotions, sensations, aspirations and everything that makes you uniquely individual come from your brain. This complex organ has many functions. It receives, processes and interprets information. Your brain also stores memories and controls your movements. Your brain is one component of your central Function What is the brain’s function? Your brain receives information from your five senses: sight, smell, sound, touch and taste. Your brain also receives inputs including touch, vibration, pain and temperature from the rest of your body as well as autonomic (involuntary) inputs from your organs. It interprets this information so you can understand and associate meaning with what goes on around you. Your brain enables: • Thoughts and decisions. • Memories and emotions. • Movements (motor function), balance and coordination. • Perception of various sensations including pain. • Automatic behavior such as breathing, heart rate, sleep and temperature control. • Regulation of organ function. • Speech and language functions. • Fight or flight response ( Anatomy What are the main parts of the brain? Your brain’s structure is complex. It has three main sections: • Cerebrum : Your cerebrum interprets sights, sounds and touches. It also regulates emotions, reasoning and learning. Your cerebrum makes up about 80% of your brain. • Cerebellum : Your cerebellum maintains your balance, posture, coordination and fine m...

How do you tell the difference between a quarter and a dime when you reach into your front pocket in search of correct change? The answer to this question is found in your cerebrum. Your cerebrum is the main part of the brain in humans and other vertebrates. Functionally, it obtains information from your surroundings and/or body and then sends that information to a specific part of the cerebrum. The cerebrum interprets the knowledge and decides what must happen next. In short, your cerebrum, although approximately the size of a cantaloupe, holds the instructions for everything you do in your daily life. The cerebrum is located in the upper part of the cranial cavity, which is a space inside the top of the skull. It is divided into a right hemisphere and a left hemisphere by a deep groove known as the longitudinal fissure. The right half of the cerebrum controls the left side of the body. The left half of the cerebrum controls the right side of the body. The two halves are linked by the corpus callosum, a bundle of neural fibers. The corpus callosum passes messages between the two halves so that they can communicate with one another. Cerebral hemispheres separated by the longitudinal fissure. The cerebrum is divided into four regions called lobes that control senses, thoughts, and movements. The four lobes are the occipital, temporal, frontal, and parietal lobes. Although each lobe has a different task to perform, they all must work together. The occipital lobe, found in th...

3.2 Structure of Crebebellum Difference Between Cerebellum And Cerebrum The cerebrum and Cerebellum are the two parts of the human brain or central nervous system that plays an essential role in our life. The major differences between the cerebrum and cerebellum are due to the size, location, and constitution of the brain. The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain whereas the cerebellum is a much smaller part of the brain. The cerebrum comprises about 83% of the total brain whereas the cerebellum constitutes only about 11%. The cerebrum is located in the Character Cerebellum Cerebrum Functions Cerebellum’s main functions are motor coordination, posture maintenance, and balance. The cerebrum’s main functions are sensory, motor, and higher mental functions. Size The size is smaller than the cerebrum. It is the Largest of the central nervous system. Parts It consists of 2 cerebellar hemispheres that are connected by peduncles to the brain stem. It consists of 2 cerebral hemispheres with 4 lobes on each hemisphere.

Overview The cerebellum, also known as the hindbrain. What is the cerebellum? Your cerebellum is a part of your brain located at the back of your head, just above and behind where your spinal cord connects to your brain itself. The name “cerebellum” comes from Latin and means “little brain.” For centuries, scientists believed your cerebellum’s job was to coordinate your muscle movements. Advances in technology have shown that your cerebellum does much more than that. There’s much that scientists are still trying to understand about the cerebellum, including all the ways it works with the rest of your nervous system. What’s the difference between the cerebellum and cerebrum? Your cerebellum is a small part of your brain located at the bottom of this organ near the back of your head. Your Function What does the cerebellum do? Scientists started analyzing the cerebellum more than 200 years ago by studying people or animals with cerebellum damage. They found people with this kind of damage usually had trouble keeping their balance while standing or walking, or they’d have trouble reaching for objects because their hands would miss an object they were trying to pick up. Over time, scientists started finding evidence that cerebellum damage could have other effects. They found that damage could make it harder or for a person to learn new words or skills. Damage to your cerebellum can interfere with judging the size of or distance from objects. It can also affect your sense of tim...

What Does the Brain Do? The brain controls what you think and feel, how you learn and remember, and the way you move and talk. But it also controls things you're less aware of — like the beating of your heart and the digestion of your food. Think of the brain as a central computer that controls all the body's functions. The rest of the nervous system is like a network that relays messages back and forth from the brain to different parts of the body. It does this via the spinal cord, which runs from the brain down through the back. It contains threadlike nerves that branch out to every organ and body part. When a message comes into the brain from anywhere in the body, the brain tells the body how to react. For example, if you touch a hot stove, the nerves in your skin shoot a message of pain to your brain. The brain then sends a message back telling the muscles in your hand to pull away. Luckily, this neurological relay race happens in an instant. What Are the Parts of the Nervous System? The nervous system is made up of the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system: • The brain and the spinal cord are the central nervous system. • The nerves that go through the whole body make up the peripheral nervous system. The human brain is incredibly compact, weighing just 3 pounds. It has many folds and grooves, though. These give it the added surface area needed for storing the body's important information. The spinal cord is a long bundle of nerve tissue about 18 in...

Human Brain is an organ of soft nervous tissue contained in the skull of vertebrates. It functions as the coordinating centre of the body. Cerebrum, cerebellum, and medulla oblongata plays an important role in daily activities and together help in proper functioning of the brain. Parts of Brain On the basis of their function and placements, the human brain is divided into three parts. They are named as: ForeBrain: It is the anterior part of the brain. It is also called prosencephalon. It includes, • Cerebrum • Thalamus • Hypothalamus MidBrain: It is the smallest and central part of the brain. It is also called mesencephalon. It consists of, • Tectum • Tegmentum HindBrain: The hindbrain is also called Rhombencephalon. It is located at the lower back part of the brain. It has three parts namely, • Cerebellum • Pons • Medulla oblongata Functions of Cerebrum • The sensory areas of the cerebral cortex are involved in the perception of sensory information. • The motor areas control execution of voluntary movements. • It also suppresses unwanted movements and regulates muscle tone. • It promotes a range of emotions including pleasure, pain, docility, affection, fear and anger. Functions of Cerebellum • Smooths and coordinates contractions of skeletal muscles • Regulates posture and balance. • It also plays a role in cognition and language processing. Functions of Hypothalamus • It controls and integrates activities of the autonomic nervous system. • It also produces hormones incl...

The Cerebrum is the main part of the brain in humans and other vertebrates. Functionally, it obtains information from your surroundings and/or body and then sends that information to a specific part of the cerebrum. The cerebrum interprets the knowledge and decides what must happen next. In short, your cerebrum, although approximately the size of a cantaloupe, holds the instructions for everything you do in your daily life. There are two temporal lobes, one in each hemisphere - close to where your ears are. It primarily functions in auditory processing. However, it may also be involved in emotion, learning, and pronunciation/learning a new language. If you hear a loud tempo or beat, you may cover your ears, thus blocking the sounds from getting to your temporal lobe. The frontal lobe allows you to solve a complex task, undergo a voluntary movement of your body parts, form complete sentences, and is responsible for your personality traits. Think about the last time you had a difficult exam, what was your first reaction? You probably put your elbow on the table and your hand on your forehead, precisely where your frontal lobe is located. The parietal lobe functions in general sensation and feeling. If you stand too close to a campfire, you probably take a few steps backward to avoid the excessive heat. Building a snowman without gloves may also bring you discomfort, but your parietal lobe helps to communicate this information with the rest of your brain. Although all sensati...
