PERDEV Flashcards
is the largest part of the brain and is composed of right and left hemispheres.
It performs higher functions like interpreting touch, vision and hearing, as well as speech, reasoning, emotions, learning, and fine
Cerebrum
- its function is to coordinate voluntary muscle movements and to maintain posture, balance
Cerebellum
- acts as a relay center connecting the cerebrum and cerebellum to the spinal cord.
It performs many automatic functions such as breathing, heart rate, body temperature, wake and
sleep cycles, digestion, sneezing, coughing, vomiting, and swallowing.
