Structure of the Brain

    There are 5 main areas:
  • Cerebrum-controls voluntary actions, learning and conscious thought
  • Cerebellum - posture, balance and non-voluntary movement
  • Medulla oblongata - autonomic control e.g. heart rate and breathing rate
  • Hypothalamus - regulates temperature and water balance
  • Pituitary gland - stores and releases many regulatory hormones
