Anatomy of the BrainAfter knowing the anatomy of the brain, it helps us recognize the division of the brain. Broadly speaking, the human brain is divided into 3 parts, namely forebrain (forebrain), midbrain (midbrain), and hindbrain (hindbrain).
Forebrain (forebrain)Forebrain is the brain located at the front. This section of the brain responsible for various functions, such as receive and process information, think, feel, understand and remove the language, as well as controlling motor function (muscle). There are two major parts of the brain are included in the forebrain, namely diensefalon (diencephalon) and telensefalon (telencephalon).
- DiensefalonDiensefalon consisted of thalami (thalamus) and hypothalamus (hypothalamus). Diensefalon lies between the hemisphere of the brain and midbrain. Diensefalon role in motor control, replacement of sensory information, and control of autonomous function of various organs. Some examples of activities that involve diensefalon include chewing, look, eye movements, facial expressions that occur in (eg, smiling, frowning, etc.), hearing, breathing, swallowing, smell (smell), and balance the body.
- Telensefalon (cerebrum)Telensefalon located in the anterior / front of the brain leading to the half of the midbrain (midbrain). Telensefalon contains the largest part of the brain, the cerebral cortex or cerebrum. Telensefalon a thin layer of the brain is gray, and consists of 15-33 billion neurons. Not only that, telensefalon also consists of the basal ganglia (part of the brain that serves as the guardian of the balance motor), corpus striatum (the part below the cortex), and olfactory bulb (the part of the brain that respond to odors).
Telensefalon role in various processes, such as the determination of intelligence, determination of personality, interpret sensory stimuli, plan and classify, respond to your sense of smell (pembauan), as well as responding to the sense of touch (skin).
Midbrain (midbrain / mesencephalon)Midbrain and hindbrain together form the brain stem (brain stem). Midbrain itself is a link between the forebrain and hindbrain. This area involves the control of the auditory system and visual system.
Rear brain (Hindbrain / Rombencephalon)Hindbrain is a form of extension of the spinal nervous system. Compiled by metensefalon hindbrain (metencephalon) and mielensefalon (myelencephalon).
- MetensefalonMetensefalon is part of the brain behind the structure consists of varolli pons (bridge varolli) and cerebellum (small brain). Metensefalon under the posterior area of the cerebrum (telensefalon) and above the medulla oblongata (also known as marrow continued). This area helps in the process of the body's balance, motor coordination, reflex cardiac, sleep, circulation, rhythmic muscle movements, and control of sensory information.
- MielensefalonMielensefalon compiled by the medulla oblongata (marrow continued). Mielensefalon responsible for controlling autonomous functions, such as breathing, heart rate, swallowing, sneezing, and digestion. Mielensefalon located on the inferior brain stem.
