The human brain is the command center of the central nervous system it receives input from the sensory organs and sends outputs to the muscles. The human brain also has the same basic structure as other mammal brains, but is larger in relation to body size, and at times it is invalided by diseases that infect the control center of the brain.Today I am going to write about the three major divisions of the brain, diseases, that affect the brain , animals vs human brain. Also, weather or not the brain can be replaced by an artificial organ. The forebrain regulates the mental process. The first structure of the forebrain is the limbic system which plays a role in fear and aggression and the hippocampus plays a role in a transfer of information …show more content…
The midbrain functions include everyday movement, eye movement, hearing and visual, Also the midbrain is made up of the tecum and the tegmentum. The tegmentum is the brainstem you can find it between the ventricular system and the distinctive basal. So, basically the tegmentum is the floor of the midbrain and the tecum forms the ceiling. Last, the hindbrain includes the medulla, the pons, and cerebellum. Which the medulla is right beside the spinal cord. Which contains outsides functions like breathing, and blood flow. So the medulla controls very important functions. The pons gives signs to the forebrain. Which this includes hearing, taste, bladder control, ect. The cerebellum detects motor movement like coordination, balance, speech. There are alot of diseases that are associated with the brain. Like the diseases called neurodegenerative. Neurodegenerative is the disease that makes your brain and nerves become worse over a period of time. It makes your personality different and causes a lot of confusion. It also destroys your brain tissue and your nerves. This disease is very serious to have their is a lot of people that suffer from it all across the …show more content…
Multiple sclerosis affects the spinal cord and the brain. There's a lot of ways to determine if you have multiple sclerosis because a lot of people might not know the symptoms of it until it is to late. Which that includes weakness ,not having the energy to get up and do anything, bladder issues, vision get very blurry, pain as in your muscles and neurologic. My grandmother has Multiple Sclerosis and at first she had some of these symptoms she didn't understand why until she went to the doctor. It's a very hard disease to handle.
Another disease is the Huntington disease (HD). The Huntington disease is genetic which it breakdowns the nervous. It also has no cure because it is genetic. Which, that means for example if my mother had it when I am born I have a 50 percent chance of getting it It affects your physical and mental ways threw a period of time. Threw out the world there are 30,000 people with the disease and 200,000 with the change of having the Huntington disease. But unfortunately, The brain is the only organ that cannot be replaced by an artificial organ. Because it to big of a risk to do that yes they can fix things in your brain. Like for example let's say you have a tumor and they need to take a piece of that out or a percent of your brain they can do
The hindbrain is located in the back of the head. The hindbrain can be broken down into three sections. The first section is called the medulla oblongata. The medulla oblongata controls things that are typically
These psychological disorders originate from different area of the brain. The brain consists of three main parts: the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. The forebrain is made up of the cerebrum, thalamus, and hypothalamus (part of the limbic system). The midbrain comprises the tectum and tegmentum. The hindbrain consists of the cerebellum, pons and medulla. The midbrain, pons, and medulla in conjunction are typically called the brainstem.
The midbrain is located above the pons. The midbrain has an area called the substantia nigra which holds different nuclei. The midbrain is responsible for the body 's movement that is not covered by the cerebellum. The neurotransmitter dopamine, that produced by
What causes this disease? There is no actual mapped out cause of this disease. It can be congenital and most of the time it is a sudden onset. There are a lot of signs that can let people know that they are starting down that path. A lot of times the actual person doesn’t know its happening though, it usually takes a family member, spouse, or friend to point it out because they see the change first-hand. The disease progresses by the continuous deterioration of the brain tissue. The damaging of the brain tissue breaks down critical centers of the brain that control daily activities. This disease causes memory loss and cannot be regained or new ones be made. It causes them to be a different person and act differently that they would have
The hindbrain, located directly above the spinal cord, contains the medulla, pons, and cerebellum.The medulla controls breathing, heart rate, swallowing, digestion, and maintaining an up right posture. As well, the medulla is where nerves from the left brain transfer to the right and nerves from the right brain transfer to the left. Below the medulla are the pons. The pons control sleep and arousal. Behind both the medulla and the pons is the cerebellum. The cerebellum is involved in regulation and coordination of body movements and learning.
Forebrain: the largest section of the brain. It is responsible for a wide array of a person, such as speech, emotional and intellectual capabilities, memory, motion, and even feeling.
Brain stem: the midbrain, pons, and medulla are located in the brain stem. They are composed mainly of axons and dendrites. These fibers serve as connecting pathways between the control centers in the cerebrum and cerebellum and the spinal cord. Control centers are found within the brain stem for involuntary movements of such vital organs as the:
The nervous system is figuratively a command center of various organisms, including humans, in which its primary role is to receive and send messages. These messages are carried by nerve cells, known as neurons. The two major components of the system are the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) (Eunice Kenedy Shiver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development 2013). Previous educational research demonstrate that the CNS contains the brain and the spinal cord. The brain, one of the most important organ, is also made up of many parts, where each part has its own roles, such as the control over awareness, movements, sensations, thoughts, speech, and memory. For instance, the occipital lobe, which is
The nervous system is divided into two major systems that function together. Those two systems are the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The major components in central nervous system are the brain and the spinal cord. The size of the human brain amazes me. The average human brain weighs about 3 pounds and its 2% of our total body weight.
‘Two hemispheres (cerebral hemispheres which are joined together by white matter called the corpus callosum. It controls ones memory, consciousness, thought, language, awareness and attention. The thalamus controls the processing and relaying of sensory information to specific regions of the cerebral cortex and translates signals from lower cortex including that of auditory and visual systems. It plays an important role in regulating state of consciousness and levels of activity’. ‘The hypothalamus
The brain is a very critical part of the human anatomy. It’s our control system. The brain controls
The Myelencephalon and is the most posterior region of the brain. The Myelencephalon carries information between the medulla and the rest of the body. The Myelencephalon is made of reticular formations (called so because of its net appearance). The Myelencephalon is responsible handles many functions such as sleep, movement, maintenance of muscle tone, attention ( is important to speech), as well as other respiratory, circulatory,
Every single memory, feeling, movement, ability and action has always started and ended in the same place: the brain. Everyday movements like breathing, yawning, or even reading would not be possible without the brain. It holds the everyday life of a human. Even though the brain holds eight major parts, each part contains its own special abilities to contribute to the actions a body is able to do, from the simplest movements to the most complex thoughts.
Even though the brain is the major control center if the body, its job would not be possible without the spinal cord. The spinal cord is the major organ that helps information travel between the body and the brain. Nerves branch in the peripheral system from, either the brain stem or spinal cord, each nerve attaches to a specific area of the torso and limbs it 's responsible for communication to and from those regions. There are three very important
The brain is the most complex in the human body. When it comes to anatomy, it starts off as a structure that separates living parts. The brain has specialized areas of the cortex which is the outer layer part that helps movement. The brain gives us awareness of our surroundings which controls muscle and movements. There are different divisions when talking about brain diseases in autonomy. The basic that help the brain develop feeling would be the forebrain. The forebrain is made up of the cerebellum. The midbrain is located near the brain between interbrain and hindbrain. And that helps the connection to the spinal cord.
