hi. iam ‘the brain’.
i run the show and control just about everything you do, even when you’re asleep. i look like a walnut (wrinkly).		       meet brainstem (the secretary)
he is in charge of your most fundamental needs like breathing air, eating food and circulating blood. he sorts millions of messages sent by me and the rest of the body, back and forth.
     
i’ve a team
of 6 key players to run the show. they are cerebrum, thalamus/ basal ganglia, brainstem, cerebellum, hypothalamus/ pituitary and spinal cord.		       meet cerebellum (the balancer)
he is the balancer, located at my back and below the cerebrum.
he controls, balances and co-ordinates your movements.
     

meet cerebrum-(the ceo)
he is my largest and newest part, responsible for perception, imagination, emotions, thinking, decision and judgement. your short term/long term memory lives here.		       meet spinal cord (the highway)
he is the major highway between me and rest of the body.
     

meet thalamus/ basal ganglia (the relay master/ fine tuner).
thalamus is the relay station for all sensations, while both of them are responsible for fine tuning of body movements.
       i’m called “the boss”
because, i’m the center of the human nervous system.
i weigh about 1.5 kg and measure about 1130cc cubic centimeters) on an average.
     

meet hypothalamus/pituitary gland the growth controller)
hypothalamus is the chief controller of vegetative functions like hunger, thirst, sleep, temperature control.
