5 Facts about human
brain
The largest part of the brain
is the cerebrum, making up about 85% of the brain's weight.
The cerebrum allows a person to think
and control voluntary
muscles, which a person is able to
control. A person can kick a ball, walk down, the street, or jump
in the air because they control the muscles and
movements.
The cerebrum is active when a
person is thinking during a test, making decisions, or playing a
video game. Memory is a part of the cerebrum,
including short-term memory, recalling a
morning event, or long-term, a memory from several years
ago.
The cerebrum has two halves,
one on each side of the head. The right half helps a person think
about abstract things like art, music,
colors, shapes, and other parts of the imagination. The left half
is more analytical, which helps a person speak,
make logical decisions, do math problems, and reason. Scientists
are unsure about which half of the brain controls the left or right
side of the body.
The cerebellum controls a person's
balance, movement, and coordination. This includes how a person
stands, moves, and balances. The cerebellum is located in the back
of the brain under the cerebrum, but it is only about one-eighth
the size of the cerebrum, though it is a vital part of the brain.
Without the cerebellum a person would not have very little ability
to move.
The brain
stem, also small, is responsible
for all of the functions of the body for a person to remain alive,
including breathing, food digestion, and blood circulation. Located
below the cerebrum, in front of the cerebellum, it connects the
rest of the brain to a person's spinal cord. The brain stem
controls involuntary
muscles, working on their own without
the help or thought. The muscles are located in the heart, stomach
or other parts of the body. It tells the heart to pump blood to the
body, and stomach muscles to break food down. The brain stem is
also the pipeline sending and receiving millions of messages back
and forth between the brain and the
body.
