Brain: Parts,

Processes and
Functions
Which likely describes you more?
Directions: Write words related to distress and de-
stress inside the cloud. Reflect on how it affects your
daily life.
Before going through the rest of the
lesson, take time to relax. Close your
eyes and take a deep breath. Inhale
through your nose and exhale through
your mouth. Inhale. Exhale. Do this
exercise in eight intervals, then slowly
breathe normally.
Breathing is one of the survival
functions of the brain. Proper breathing
helps your brain to regulate your
thoughts, feelings, and behavior for you
to become thoughtful, tactful, sensitive,
compassionate, and respectful.
Understanding the Brain Parts, its Processes, and its Functions

Brain is one of the most complex organs in the human


body, which is part of the central nervous system,
including the spinal cord. Brain has three main regions
– the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. The Forebrain
is located in the uppermost region of the brain. It
includes the cerebrum, thalamus, hypothalamus, and
the limbic system. Cerebrum is the largest part of the
brain covered by the cerebral cortex.
Understanding the Brain Parts, its Processes, and its Functions

Cerebrum regulates senses, memory, emotions,


intellectual activities, and body movement, while
the Cerebral Cortex is responsible for processing
information that is divided into two hemispheres:
the right cerebral hemisphere controls the left
side of the body while the left cerebral
hemisphere controls the right side of the body.

Each cerebral hemisphere contains four


lobes that shares complex relationships
together to function. These are the Frontal
Lobe, Parietal Lobe, Temporal Lobe, and
Occipital Lobe.
Understanding the Brain Parts, its Processes, and its Functions

Frontal Lobe is situated


at the front part of the
brain which controls
memory, emotion,
stress response,
speech, decision
making, and planning.
Understanding the Brain Parts, its Processes, and its Functions

Parietal lobe is situated


near the back of the
frontal lobe which
regulates sensory
perception.
Understanding the Brain Parts, its Processes, and its Functions

Temporal Lobe is
located at the side of
the head which
regulates memory,
hearing, and
comprehension.
Understanding the Brain Parts, its Processes, and its Functions

Occipital Lobe is
situated at the back of
the head which
regulates sight.
Understanding the Brain Parts, its Processes, and its Functions

Thalamus is connected
to the cerebral cortex
that sends, receives,
and organize
information.
Understanding the Brain Parts, its Processes, and its Functions

Hypothalamus is located
below the thalamus and
above the brainstem which
links the nervous system
with the endocrine system
that regulates digestive
process and is also
responsible for growth and
development.
Understanding the Brain Parts, its Processes, and its Functions

Limbic System composes


parts of cerebral cortex
and hypothalamus which
regulates various types of
emotions that affect blood
temperature and blood
pressure facilitated by the
hypothalamus.
Understanding the Brain Parts, its Processes, and its Functions

The Midbrain is located


between the forebrain and
hindbrain It is responsible
for motor movements
particularly the visual and
auditory processing.
Understanding the Brain Parts, its Processes, and its Functions

Brainstem is located at the lower part


of the brain which leads to spinal cord.
The brainstem connects the cerebrum
and cerebellum to the spinal cord. It
composes nerve fibers that carry
signals to and from all parts of the
body. Basically, its functions are for
safety and survival as it regulates
breathing, consciousness, heart rate,
body temperature, blood pressure,
digestion, and wake and sleep cycles.
Understanding the Brain Parts, its Processes, and its Functions

This is a partial view of how brain works for


you. Again, cerebrum and cortex have
something to do with your ability to think. The
limbic system has something to do with your
feelings, while the brainstem has something to
do with your behaving safely to survive. These
are all important for personal development.
Understanding the Brain Parts, its Processes, and its Functions

Brain makes you think, feel, and behave. Its


complex interrelationship enables you to think
critically, creatively, and carefully in various
situations. Those experiences you gain develop
certain reactions towards yourself and with
others which determine who you are as a person
having the right and acceptable thought process,
feeling, and perception.
