Cerebrum of the brain

Cerebrum is the core, biggest and uppermost part of the brain. " If you could see the human brain beneath its bony cranial protection, you would see a convoluted, wrinkled, ropy looking, pinkish-gray mass that looks something like a large, mushy walnut. This is the cerebrum"*

"It is involved with sensory  integration, control of the voluntary movement and higher intellectual function such as speech and obstract thought."***

The cerebrum is divided into equal two part "by a deep, longitudinal groove"** or longitudinal sulcus. These two half of the cerebrum is called left hemisphere and right hemisphere.

Left hemisphere and right hemisphere of the cerebrum from outside view look like mirror images of each other but they working differently.

In our brain, the right hemisphere is control left side of the body and also for "creative, artistic, visual, intuition, ideas, imaginations, holistic, tune of a song, see 'big picture', spatial and multiprocessing."#

In our brain, the left hemisphere is control right side of the body and also for "mathematics, verbal, logical, facts, deduction, analysis, practical, order, word of a song, linear and see fine details."#

Our Brain

    Brain is the very important part of the central nervous system. In the simple way, we can say our brain is a super computer which consist of a processor, motherboard, hard disk etc. as a hardware and own software to operates the whole body.

    In a computer, several peripheral are connected to the system unit. They are sending and receiving the signal from the system unit.

    Similarly in our brain also receives signal from sensory neurons in the central and peripheral nerves system and by own software program it generates and sends new signal to instruct a particular function of our body part to react in a particular way.

    The human brain are three time bigger then the size of the gorilla.And also one third time bigger than Neanderthal man.

    The objects which is starting from the top of the spinal code is called brain. Our brain is cover by a strong and bony protective part is called cranium or cranial cavity. Cranium or cranial cavity is "surrounds the brain like a permanent, exclusively designed bike helmet"*  to protect our brain for accident.

    We can divided our brain  into 3 different parts such as
    1. Cerebellum
    2. The brain stem
    3. Cerebrum

    Human Body

    The human body (means both male and female body) is consist of following  interrelated systems, such as
    1. Circulatory system
    2. Respiratory system
    3. Skeletal system
    4. Muscular system
    5. Digestive system
    6. Excretory system
    7. Endocrine system
    8. Reproductive system
    9. Lymphatic system
    10. Immune system
    11. Nervous system
     Each system works specific function of a body. "From its earliest development in the fetus, a complex mass of tissue housed in your skull controls and coordinates these systems, which play out all of your mental and physical actions. This complex mass of tissue is your brain"*. In the above interrelated systems our "brain is a  major part of the nervous system and without it, none of other systems could work."*
