BRAIN :explode: - Coggle Diagram

- - - - back of the medulla, controls some of our movements which we are not aware of. these are like automatic like, does coordination, process information coming from multiple receptors
    - - connection of brain and spinal cord, control heart beats and breath, vital reflexes such as coughing, vomiting, sneezing,
        and swallowing
      - :!: an interesting feature of the way the body is “wired” is that the motor nerves from one side of the forebrain cross over to the other side of the body in the medulla oblongata. As a result, the left side of the brain
        controls the right side of the body, and vice versa. :!:
- - - - transfer signal coming from the hypothalamus to the cerebrum where the signals are actually inerpreted .
        a receiving, processing, and
        transfer center
    - - responsible for emotion,
    - - controls some of the functions of all the pituitary gland such as water and solute balance, temperature control, carbohydrate metabolism, and production of breast milk. helper for keeping the balance of the body's functioning homeostasis. It plays an important role in regulating homeostasis because it monitors sensory signals relating to sight, smell, taste, noise, and body temperature. A “hunger center” located in the hypothalamus alerts us when we need to eat, and a “thirst center” signals us to drink something when body fluids become too concentrated.
    - - most developed area, manage high level functions such as deceding, thinking something in detail, language, conscious thought.
        
        the cerebral
        cortex
        
        is part of cerebrum
        
        mostly made up gray matter
        
        The outer layer of the cerebrum
        
        The inner portion of the cerebrum is mostly white matter, containing myelinated nerve axons that connect lower brain areas to the cerebral cortex.
        
        The left and right halves (called hemispheres) of the cerebrum are joined in the middle by a network of nerves called the corpus callosum.
