The human body is full of a wide variety of secrets. There are so many parts that make up the human body that sometimes you just can't remember them all, or you've never heard of them. An example of a human body part is found inside the nervous system, your brain. Your brain is divided into three main parts: the forebrain, the midbrain, and the hindbrain. The brain has multiple functions in addition to being quite remarkable. According to Brain Anatomy, the average human brain weighs about three pounds or 1,300 to 1,400 grams. Your brain is the basic control center for your entire body. The brain itself performs many types of functions. A few of these include its ability to control the five senses, our movements, and how we obtain different information. Your brain, however; is not just a big blob of pink, wrinkly stuff like some people think. Yes, it may look like a silly putty thing with a bunch of wavy lines, but the fact is that it can actually be divided into several parts. A particular part into which the brain can be divided is called the forebrain. Part of your forebrain is your cerebrum, or cortex, which is the largest part of the human brain. The brain, or cortex, is divided into four main parts, including the temporal lobe, the frontal lobe, the occipital lobe and finally the parietal lobe. First, I will discuss the frontal lobes. According to the America Health Assistance Foundation, the frontal lobe helps control muscle movements, mood, planning for the future, setting goals and evaluating priorities. It is broken down into three different parts. The three parts are the motor, premotor and prefrontal. The motor is responsible for the movements and the premotor selects the movement...... middle of paper ......ferent functions that control your body? No doubt one wonders how all the information or functions of your daily desire are inside something that can be in the palm of your hands, right? Works Cited Anatomy of the Brain. (nd).
