Fig. 1: The major regions of the brain.
Explanation:
The four major regions of the brain are well represented in Fig.1, which are also well described as below:
- 1. Cerebrum: It is the largest part of the brain. It is composed of left and right hemisphere.
- 2. Diencephalon: It contains the thalamus and hypothalamus. The thalamus relays and processes the sensory information, while hypothalamus involves in hormone production, and autonomic functions.
- 3. Cerebellum: It comes 2nd after the cerebrum in size, and partially covered by the cerebral hemisphere.
- 4. Brain stem: It contains various important processing centers and nuclei. It consists of the midbrain, medulla oblongata and the pons
