The cerebellum coordinates voluntary movements such as posture, balance, coordination, and speech, resulting in smooth and balanced muscular activity.]]> 2018-05-25 05:53:52 UTC https://padlet.com/wareham_sam/9iqk9cwt9gg1/wish/263544503 wareham_sam https://padlet.com/wareham_sam/9iqk9cwt9gg1/wish/263544724 The Cerebrum: The cerebrum or cortex is the largest part of the human brain, associated with higher brain function such as thought and action. The cerebral cortex is divided into four sections, called "lobes": the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, and temporal lobe.]]> 2018-05-25 05:56:42 UTC https://padlet.com/wareham_sam/9iqk9cwt9gg1/wish/263544724 wareham_sam https://padlet.com/wareham_sam/9iqk9cwt9gg1/wish/263544901 The medulla oblongata helps regulate breathing, heart and blood vessel function, digestion, sneezing, and swallowing. This part of the brain is a center for respiration and circulation. Sensory and motor neurons (nerve cells) from the forebrain and midbrain travel through the medulla.]]> 2018-05-25 05:59:19 UTC https://padlet.com/wareham_sam/9iqk9cwt9gg1/wish/263544901 wareham_sam https://padlet.com/wareham_sam/9iqk9cwt9gg1/wish/263545180 Location: Area of the hindbrain that sits directly above the medulla. Function: Connects upper and lower parts of the brain. The Pons serves as a message station between several areas of the brain. It helps relay messages from the cortex and the cerebellum.]]> 2018-05-25 06:02:27 UTC https://padlet.com/wareham_sam/9iqk9cwt9gg1/wish/263545180 wareham_sam https://padlet.com/wareham_sam/9iqk9cwt9gg1/wish/263545372 The brain stem controls the flow of messages between the brain and the rest of the body, and it also controls basic body functions such as breathing, swallowing, heart rate, blood pressure, consciousness, and whether one is awake or sleepy. The brain stemconsists of the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata.]]> 2018-05-25 06:04:33 UTC https://padlet.com/wareham_sam/9iqk9cwt9gg1/wish/263545372 wareham_sam https://padlet.com/wareham_sam/9iqk9cwt9gg1/wish/263545469 Functions of the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is vital for living as it plays a very important role. It controls certain metabolic processes and other activities of the Autonomic Nervous System. It synthesizes and secretes neurohormones, often called hypothalamic-releasing hormones.]]> 2018-05-25 06:05:27 UTC https://padlet.com/wareham_sam/9iqk9cwt9gg1/wish/263545469
