What is function of brain |
| Answer» Tasks of brain involves receiving information from the rest of the body, interpreting that information, and then guiding the body\'s response to it. Types of input the brain interprets include odors, light, sounds, and pain. The brain also helps perform vital operations such as breathing, maintaining blood pressure, and releasing hormones (chemical signals that control certain cells and organs).The brain is divided into sections. These sections include the cerebrum, the cerebellum, the diencephalon, and the brainstem.The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain. It is responsible for memory, speech, the senses, emotional response, and more.The cerebellum is below and behind the cerebrum and is attached to the brain stem. It controls motor function, the body\'s ability to balance, and its ability to interpret information sent to the brain by the eyes, ears, and other sensory organs.The functions the brain stem governs include respiration, blood pressure, some reflexes, and the changes that happen in the body during what is called the “fight or flight” response.\xa0The diencephalon is inside the cerebrum above the brain stem. Its tasks include sensory function, food intake control, and the body\'s sleep cycle. | |
