- - - - Largest Part of the brain
      - Controls voluntary muscle action
      - Interprets signals from sensory organs
      - Responsible for higher mental functioning
        
        Memory
        
        Intelligence
        
        Reasoning
        
        Judgement
    - - Second largest part of the brain
      - Ensures correct posture, balance and smooth movements
      - Co-ordinates muscle movement
    - - White tissue joining cerebral halves of cerebrum
      - Transmits information between hemispheres
      - Co-ordinates activities between hemispheres
    - - Found at the top of the spinal cord
      - Controls involuntary muscles
      - Conducts information from the cerebrum to the spinal cord
  - - - Hollow tube runny dorsally
      - Enclosed by bony vertebrae
      - Peripheral nerves carry impulses to and from spinal cord
      - White Matter outside consisting of nerve fibres
      - Grey matter in middle containing cell bodies
    - - Links brain with all other organs of the body
      - Carries sensory information to the brain for interpretation
      - Carries motor information from brain to effector organs
      - Center for reflex action
        
        Quick response to harmful stimuli
- - - - Autonomic Nervous System
        
        Controls involuntary actions of:
