Olfactory lobes : These clubshaped widely spread bodies are visible from the ventral |
surface only. |
Functions : These are concerned with sense of smell. |

Cerebrum : It consists of two lobes called cerebral hemispheres. The surface of the |
cerebrum has many folds, they appear as elevations (Gyri) and depressions (Sulci). Sulci |
are very prominent and divide each hemisphere into four lobes. |
l ask your teacher the name of those lobes. |

Functions : i) Seat of mental abilities, controls thinking, memory, reasoning, perception, |
emotions and speech. |
ii) Interprets sensations and responds to cold, heat, pain and pressure. |
Diencephalon : This rhomboidal shaped lobe visible from inferior surface of brain. It lies |
LA |
between cerebrum and mid brain. It is divided into thalamus and hypothalamus (Master |
control centre of endocrine system). Where as Pituatory gland is called Master gland. |
Functions : i) Relay centre for sensory impulses, such as pain, temperature and light. |
ii) Reflex centre for muscular activities. |
iii) Centre for certain emotions such as anger. |
TE |
null |
iv) Centre for water balance, blood pressure, body temperature, sleep and hunger. |
v) The hypothalamus controls the pituitary gland, which functions as the |
master gland. |
Mid-brain : This is a small thick stalked portion. This connects forebrain with cerebellum |
and pons of hind brain. |

Functions : It relays motor impulses from the cerebral cortex to the spinal cord and relays |
sensory impulses from the spinal cord to the thalamus, reflexes for sight and hearing. |
Hind brain : This is the last part of the brain consists of cerebellum, medulla oblongata. |
Cerebellum : It is located below the cerebrum and above medulla oblongata. It consists |
of two large cerebellar hemispheres. |

Functions : i) Maintains posture, equilibrium and muscle tone. |
ii) Coordinates voluntary movements initiated by cerebrum. |
Medulla oblongata : It is almost triangular shaped. Medulla oblongata extends from pons |
to spinal cord. Ask your teacher grey and white matters of medulla oblongata |
Functions : i) Contains centre for cardiac, respiratory and vasomotor activities. |
(Vasomotor refers to actions upon a blood vessel which alter its diameter) |
ii) Coordinates reflexes like swallowing, coughing, sneezing and vomiting. |
