NIM : 122 STYC 10 What is brain ?? The brain is a remarkable organ, working to coordinate all that happens in our bodies, personality, metabolism, blood pressure, emotions, hormones, memory, work in this world than any computer. The brain to organize and coordinate the most part, movement, behavior and homeostatic body functions such as heartbeat, blood pressure, body fluid balance and body temperature. The brain is also responsible for functions such as recognition, emotion. memory, motor learning, and all other forms of learning. The brain is made up of two cell types: neurons and glia. Parts of Brain Cerebrum (Great Brain) Cerebellum (small brain) Brainstem (Brain Stem) limbic system (limbic system)
Cerebrum (Great Brain) The cerebrum is the largest part of the human brain which is also referred to as the Cerebral Cortex, forebrain or Brain Home. The cerebrum is the part of the brain that distinguishes humans from animals. The cerebrum makes humans have the ability to think, analysis, logic, language, awareness, planning, memory and visual abilities. Your intelligence quotient or IQ is also determined by the quality of this section.
The cerebrum is divided into 4 (four) sections called lobes. Sections called lobes prominent gyrus and the curve that resembles a trench called sulcus. The fourth lobe, respectively: frontal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe and temporal lobe. Picture parts of brain Cerebellum (small brain) Small brain or cerebellum is located at the back of the head, near the tip of the upper neck. Cerebellum controls many automatic functions of the brain, such as: set the stance or body position, balance control, muscle coordination and body movement. Small brains also store and execute a series of automatic movements are studied such as driving movement, the movement of the hand when writing, movement and so lock the door.
In the event of injury to the cerebellum, may cause the attitude and the coordination of muscle movements. Movements become uncoordinated, for example, the person is not able to put food in your mouth or unable to buttoning a shirt. Brainstem (Brain Stem) Brainstem (brainstem) is in the bones of the skull or head cavity and extending to the base of the spine or spinal cord. The brain regulates basic human functions, including breathing, heart rate, body temperature, regulate the digestive process, and is the source of the basic human instinct is fight or flight (fight or flight) when the approaching danger.
The brain stem is also found in animals such as lizards and crocodiles. Therefore, the brain stem is often called the reptilian brain. Set the reptilian brain 'territorial feelings' as a primitive instinct. For example you will feel uncomfortable or threatened when people you do not know too close to you. Limbic system (limbic system) The limbic system is located in the central part of the brain, brain stem like a collar wrap dress. Limbic comes from the Latin meaning collar. The brain is also owned by the same mammal that is often referred to as the mammalian brain. Limbic components include the hypothalamus, thalamus, amygdala, and limbic cortex hipocampus. The limbic system function to produce feelings, regulate hormone production, maintain homeostasis, thirst, hunger, sex drive, pleasure centers, metabolism and long-term memory. Picture of the limbic system Difference Functions & Left Brain Right Brain Difference of two functions of the left and right brain will form the nature, characteristics and abilities in a person. Big brain or cerebrum is the largest part of the human brain is the part that processes all the intellectual activities, such as the ability to think, menalarkan, remembering, imagining, and planning for the future. Meanwhile, the right brain function in the development of the Emotional Quotient (EQ). For example, socialization, communication, interaction with other human and emotional control. On the right brain is also located intuitive ability, the ability to perceive, integrate, and expression of the body, such as singing, dancing, painting and all sorts of other creative activities.
