Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The brain has three main parts: the cerebrum, cerebellum and brainstem. Cerebrum: is the largest part of the brain and is composed of right and left hemispheres. It performs higher functions like interpreting touch, vision and hearing, as well as speech, reasoning, emotions, learning, and fine control of movement.

Detailed explanation-2: -The brain can be divided into three basic units: the forebrain, the midbrain, and the hindbrain. The hindbrain includes the upper part of the spinal cord, the brain stem, and a wrinkled ball of tissue called the cerebellum. The hindbrain controls the body’s vital functions such as respiration and heart rate.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cerebellum: Cerebellum lies below the cerebrum and at the back of the whole structure. It coordinates the motor functions. When you are riding your bicycle; the perfect coordination between your pedaling and steering control is achieved by the cerebellum. Medulla: Medulla forms the brain stem; along with the pons.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your cerebellum is a small part of your brain located at the bottom of this organ near the back of your head. Your cerebrum is the largest part of your brain and includes parts above and forward of the cerebellum.

Detailed explanation-5: -The cerebrum fills up most of your skull. It is involved in remembering, problem solving, thinking, and feeling. The cerebellum sits at the back of your head, under the cerebrum. It controls coordination and balance. The brain stem sits beneath your cerebrum in front of your cerebellum.
