Parts of the brain

The brain.... I learned about the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, and occipital lobe and each of there locations. We then went into learning what the falx cerebelle was and this seperates the cerebellum hemisphers. Within the cerebellum is the muscle motor activity is coordinated from and the pre central gyrus is where the muscle impulses originate. We also learned locations of several parts of the brain like corpus callosum, septum pellucidum, fornix, anterior cerebral artery, frontal lobe, anterior commissure, tuberal area, fourth ventricle, cerebellum, and hypothalamus which to me was the most interesting of all. Here is a important control and integrative center. The hypothalmic may be stumulated by sensory information from the cerebrom, brain stem, and spinal cord, changes in the csf and lastle a chemical stimuli in the circulating blood. I recommend a Sagittal section view to me this was most helpful in understaning and seeing all the parts.
