- Conscious Thought: Thinking
- Reasoning
- Learning
- Memory
- Intelligence
- Sensory Perception
- Voluntary muscle contraction.
- It also helps regulate the body’s vital functions, such as respiration and heart rate
LOCATION OF CEREBRUM
The front and top of your skull
FUNCTION OF THE CEREBELLUM
The function of the cerebellum is it plays a crucial role in motor coordination, precision, and timing.
- Control over posture, balance and the fine coordination of voluntary muscle movement
- Receives info from the ear and from receptors in the skeletal muscles
LOCATION OF THE CEREBELLUM
In the back of the head between the cerebrum and the brain stem
FUNCTION OF THE SPINAL CORD
The function of the spinal cord is it serves as a pathway for communication between the brain and the rest of the body.
- Voluntary movements
- Reflexes
- Transmitting sensory information
- Structural support
LOCATION OF THE SPINAL CORD
The spinal cord is a long, thin, tubular structure that runs from the brainstem to the lower back and is protected by the bones of the spinal column.
