NGSS.MS-LS1-8

Is the largest part of the brain. Deep folds and wrinkles in the brain increase the surface area of the gray matter, so more information can be processed.

• Cerebrum

• Cerebellum

• Pons

• Medulla Oblongata

What part of the brain works to combine sensory information from the eyes, ears and muscles to help coordinate movement.

• Cerebrum

• Cerebellum

• Pons

• Medulla Oblongata

Part of the Brain that acts as a relay center connecting the cerebrum and cerebellum to the spinal cord.

It performs many automatic functions such as breathing, heart rate, body temperature, wake and sleep cycles, digestion, sneezing, coughing, vomiting, and swallowing.

• Brainstem

• Cerebellum

• Pons

• Medulla Oblongata

This is the bottom-most part of your brain. It also helps control vital processes like your heartbeat, breathing and blood pressure.

• Brainstem

• Cerebellum

• Pons

• Medulla Oblongata

It transmit signals between your forebrain and cerebellum.

This is essential in sending information to your body, giving you sensory cues and motor information.

This means it can help you taste, touch, and communicate.
