Khan Academy India - English・2 minutes read
The brain is divided into three main parts: forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain, each responsible for different functions such as voluntary and involuntary actions, thinking, memory, emotions, and regulating bodily functions. The medulla oblongata controls essential processes like heart rate and breathing, the cerebellum maintains balance and motor memory, and the midbrain is involved in controlling some involuntary functions.
Insights
- The brain is divided into three main parts: forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain, each responsible for distinct functions, with the forebrain handling voluntary actions and the midbrain and hindbrain managing involuntary processes.
- Within the forebrain, components like the cerebrum, thalamus, hypothalamus, and pituitary gland work together to govern critical functions such as thinking, sensing, memory, emotions, and regulating bodily needs like hunger and sleep, showcasing the complexity and diversity of tasks managed by this region.
