the brain

• cerebrum 


  the largest part of the brain. It's divided into two halves called cerebral hemispheres. The cerebrum has a thin outer layer called the cerebral cortex, which is highly folded. The cerebrum is involved in vision, hearing, learning and thinking.
• hypothalamus 


  found just beneath the middle part of the brain. It automatically maintains body temperature at the normal level. It also produces hormones that control the pituitary gland
• medulla oblongata 


  at the base of the brain, at the top of the spinal cord.

  It automatically controls breathing rate and heart rate.
• cerebellum 


  underneath the cerebrum and it also has a folded cortex.

  It's important for muscle coordination, posture and coordination of balance.
• pituitary gland 


  found beneath (and is controlled by) the hypothalamus.It releases hormones and stimulates other glands, e.g. the adrenal glands, to release their hormones.
