- A. Brainstem
- Function: Controls vital automatic functions like breathing, heart rate, and swallowing; acts as a relay station for signals between the brain and body.
- B. Cerebrum
- Function: Responsible for higher-level functions such as thinking, learning, memory, problem-solving, sensory processing, and voluntary movement.
- C. Cerebellum
- Function: Coordinates voluntary movements, balance, posture, and fine motor control; helps ensure smooth and balanced muscular activity.
