1
00:00:04,209 --> 00:00:09,210
The human brain is the command center for the human nervous system.

2
00:00:09,210 --> 00:00:15,210
It receives input from the sensory organs and sends output to the muscles.

3
00:00:15,210 --> 00:00:19,210
The human brain has the same basic structure as other mammals' brains,

4
00:00:19,210 --> 00:00:26,890
but is larger in relation to body size than any other brains.

5
00:00:26,890 --> 00:00:33,890
The human brain is the largest brain of all vertebrates relative to body size.

6
00:00:33,890 --> 00:00:38,149
It weighs about 1.5 kg.

7
00:00:38,149 --> 00:00:44,789
The brain makes up about 2% of a human's body weight.

8
00:00:44,789 --> 00:00:49,750
The cerebrum makes up 85% of the brain's weight.

9
00:00:49,750 --> 00:00:55,450
It contains about 86 billion nerve cells, neurons.

10
00:00:55,450 --> 00:01:00,469
It contains billions of nerve fibers, axons and dendrites.

11
00:01:00,469 --> 00:01:15,870
These neurons are connected by trillions of connections, is located within the head.

12
00:01:15,870 --> 00:01:28,930
The larger structures of the brain are the cerebrum, brain stem and cerebellum.

13
00:01:28,930 --> 00:01:35,549
The cerebrum is a large part of the brain containing the cerebral cortex.

14
00:01:35,549 --> 00:01:42,549
well as the hippocampus, basal ganglia and olfactory bulb.

15
00:01:42,549 --> 00:01:47,790
In humans, the cerebrum is the uppermost region of the central nervous system.

16
00:01:47,790 --> 00:01:53,310
Depending upon the position of the animal it lights, either in front or on top of the

17
00:01:53,310 --> 00:01:54,310
brainstem.

18
00:01:54,310 --> 00:02:00,109
In humans, the cerebrum is the largest and best developed of the three major divisions

19
00:02:00,109 --> 00:02:01,849
of the brain.

20
00:02:01,849 --> 00:02:07,530
The cerebrum is the newest structure in the phylogenetic sense and in mammals it is the

21
00:02:07,530 --> 00:02:11,849
darkest and most developed out of unknown species.

22
00:02:11,849 --> 00:02:17,689
The brainstem is the posterior parts of the brain, structurally continuous with the spinal

23
00:02:17,689 --> 00:02:19,129
cord.

24
00:02:19,129 --> 00:02:25,349
The brainstem includes the midbrain, the pons and the medulla oblongata.

25
00:02:25,349 --> 00:02:31,990
The brainstem provides the main motor and sensory innervation to the face and neck via

26
00:02:31,990 --> 00:02:33,789
the cranial nerves.

27
00:02:33,789 --> 00:02:39,349
This is an extremely important part of the brain as the nerve connection of the motor

28
00:02:39,349 --> 00:02:44,009
and sensory system from the main part of the brain to the rest of the body pass through

29
00:02:44,009 --> 00:02:45,810
the brainstem.

30
00:02:45,810 --> 00:02:51,789
The brainstem also plays an important role in the regulation of cardiac and respiratory

31
00:02:51,789 --> 00:02:52,789
function.

32
00:02:52,789 --> 00:02:56,789
It also regulates the central nervous system.

33
00:02:56,789 --> 00:03:01,789
The cerebellum is a major feature of the hindbrain, of all vertebrates.

34
00:03:01,789 --> 00:03:07,789
In humans, the cerebellum plays an important role in motor control,

35
00:03:07,789 --> 00:03:12,789
and it may also be involved in some cognitive functions,

36
00:03:12,789 --> 00:03:18,789
such as attention and language, as well as in regulating fear and pleasure responses.

37
00:03:18,789 --> 00:03:24,789
It contributes to coordination, precision and accurate timing.

38
00:03:24,789 --> 00:03:30,789
It receives input from sensory systems of the spinal cord.

39
00:03:30,789 --> 00:03:37,789
In this image we can see what part of the brain controls each part of our body.

40
00:03:37,789 --> 00:03:58,750
The main parts are feet, leg, knee, hip, trunk, elbow, wrist, hand, ring finger, middle finger, index finger, thumb, nape, eye muscles, face, lips, cheek, tongue, pharynx and larynx.

41
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:07,360
In our sport, gymnastics, we have to think twice what are we going to do and be very concentrated.

42
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:15,759
That's why when we are going to do a difficulty we are very serious and we take some seconds

43
00:04:15,759 --> 00:04:35,009
before doing it.

44
00:04:35,009 --> 00:04:39,470
When you are short on one part of the head you can die or not.

45
00:04:39,470 --> 00:04:44,709
When you die is because the brain also die and all the organs of your body, including

46
00:04:44,709 --> 00:04:47,110
the heart, stop working.

47
00:04:47,110 --> 00:04:53,129
It gets two seconds until you die, if you survive you couldn't remember anything.
