Uncover the human brain's main parts - Cerebrum, Cerebellum, and Medulla - each with distinct functions like controlling thinking, balance, and involuntary acts. Explore the importance of brain protection through the cranium and meninges while learning about spinal cord safeguarding via vertebrae. Dive into how brain weight influences intelligence and discover the brain-to-body weight ratio across species. Prepare for an upcoming exam with diagram labeling tasks and essential insights into brain anatomy. This educational resource equips you with a comprehensive understanding of the vital components and functions of the human brain.

Presentation Transcript


  1. Aim: What are the parts of the human brain and what is the function of each part? Do Now: Copy down functions on diagram handout

  2. (DO NOT COPY THIS PART) Why is it appropriate to say the weight of the brain determines intelligence? Animal Wt. of Brain Whale 15 lbs 1/10000 Elephant 13 lbs 1/1000 Human 3 lbs 1/50 The human brain is more developed and has a larger weight in proportion to total body weight. Brain/Body wt ratio

  3. Summary: The human brain has 3 main parts: Cerebrum Largest part of the human brain. Controls thinking, speech, vision, hearing and all voluntary acts. Cerebellum Controls balance and muscle coordination Medulla Controls all involuntary acts (breathing, heart beat, digestion, reflexes)

  4. Summary Continued: If our brain is so important, how do we protect it? Cranium (skull bones) Meninges (protective membrane that surrounds the brain) What about our spinal cord? Protected by bones called vertebrae

  5. After you are done labeling Color each part of the brain in your diagram and make sure you labeled the functions from the Do Now There will be exam #1 on Friday. (Don t forget that your paper is due this Friday as well.)
