Parts Of The Brain: 06/17/22

On this week's show, it's all about Parts Of The Brain! The program will be divided into 3 parts: The Cerebrum, Cerebellum, and the Brainstem. I'll be featuring songs that correspond with the functions of each of those parts.

Cerebrum - 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 control of movement.

Cerebellum - Located under the cerebrum. Its function is to coordinate muscle movements, maintain posture, and balance.

Brainstem - 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.
