Human Brain

Cerebellum (Co-ordinate muscle

movements, maintain posture, and balance.)

Cerebrum ( touch,

vision, hearing, speech, reasoning, emotions, learning &

fine control movements)

Brain Stem (relay center

connecting the cerebrum and cerebellum to the spinal cord. breathing, heart rate, body

temperature, wake and sleep cycles, digestion, sneezing, coughing, vomiting, and

swallowing )

Lobes of the Brain

28

Left & Right Hemisphere

controls speech, comprehension, arithmetic, and writing

creativity, spatial ability, artistic, and musical skills

29

Frontal Lobe

Memory FormationEmotionsDecision Making/Reasoning Personality

30

Frontal Lobe:The frontal lobe assists in

motor and cognitive activities

such as planning, making

decisions, setting goals and

relating the present to future

through purposeful behaviour

31

Olfactory Bulb

32

Broca’s & Wernicke Area

34

Arcuate Fasciculus

35

Parietal Lobe:

Assist in sensory processes, Spatial interpretation, attention and language

comprehension. Interprets language, words, Sense of touch, pain, temperature,

Interprets signals from vision, hearing, motor, sensory and memory.

36

Primary Somatosensory Cortex/ Postcentral Gyrus

Somatosensory Association Cortex

Primary Gustatory Cortex

Very sensitive areas- lips & finger tips

Touch, Temperature, Body Position and Pain

Taste

37

Occipital Lobe

The Occipital Lobe of the Brain

is located deep to the Occipital

Bone of the Skull. Its primary

function is the processing,

integration, interpretation, etc of

VISION and visual stimuli.

Interprets vision (color, light, movement)

38

Occipital lobe

Primary Visual Cortex

Visual Association Area

size, color, light, motion, dimensions

Interprets information acquired through the primary visual cortex.

39

Visual

40

Occipital Lobe: Process visual information and passes its conclusion to the parietal and frontal lobe

Temporal Lobe

• The Temporal Lobes are

located on the sides of the

brain, deep to the Temporal

Bones of the skull.

42

Temporal Lobe:

Assist in auditory perception, language comprehension and visual recognition.

Primary Auditory Cortex

Wernike’s Area

Primary Olfactory Cortex (Deep)

Conducted from Olfactory Bulb

45

Cerebellum

The cerebellum is involved in the

coordination of voluntary motor

movement, balance and equilibrium

and muscle tone.

Damage to the cerebellum can lead

to: loss of coordination of motor

movement, the inability to judge

distance , the inability to perform

rapid alternating movements,

movement tremors , tendency toward

falling, weak muscles, slurred speech

& abnormal eye movements.
