The parts of the brain
The brain is the control center of the body, and each part has its own job. Here is what happens at each labeled part of the diagram:
| Part | What it does |
|---|---|
| Frontal lobe | Handles thinking, planning, decisions and voluntary movement. |
| Parietal lobe | Processes touch, temperature and where your body is in space. |
| Occipital lobe | Processes what your eyes see. |
| Temporal lobe | Handles hearing, memory and understanding language. |
| Cerebellum | Controls balance, coordination and smooth movement. |
| Brain stem | Connects the brain to the spinal cord and controls automatic jobs like breathing and heartbeat. |
