The cerebellum is a structure that controls balance and movement, among other things. The brain stem’s function is to promote automatic functions, like breathing and the beating of the heart. There are four lobes of the brain and two strips within those lobes that serve several functions.

CHAPTER SUMMARY The human brain is an incredibly complex organ. Although the brain works in concert, there are some structures that have spe-cialized functions. First, there are the hemispheres, one left and one right. Each hemisphere specializes in certain ways of think-ing and dealing with the world. The cortex is the “wrapping” or bark of the brain.

Brain Structure and Function. The brain has two halves or hemispheres: right and left. The right hemisphere controls the left side of the body, and the left hemisphere controls the right side. In most people, the left hemisphere regulates language and speech, and the right hemisphere controls nonverbal, spatial skills. If the right side of the brain is damaged, movement of the left arm and leg, vision on the left, and/or hearing in the left ear may be affected. Injury to the left side of the brain affects speech and movement on the right side of the body. Each half of the brain is divided into main functional sections, called lobes.

Although not usually divided into lobes, the cerebellum and brain stem both have different parts. Each of the brain hemispheres and lobes, cerebellum, and brain stem has specific functions, and they all work together: This image is from: http://www.neuroskills.com/brain-injury/brain-function.php.

BRAIN HEMISPHERES The human brain weighs about 3 pounds, is about the size of a grapefruit, and is composed of two hemispheres. The consistency of a live brain inside the skull is about that of toothpaste, fresh out of a tube (but wouldn’t stick like toothpaste).

BRAIN STEM The brain stem is located in the middle of the base of the brain. It is the structure that connects the brain to the spinal cord. Functions of the brain stem include automatic functions, like breathing, the beating of the heart, and blood pressure.
