Answer 1

Brain is composed of three main parts: cerebrum, cerebellum and brain-stem.

Stimulus interpretation and speech are controlled by cerebrum. It is the biggest part of brain and performs important functions.

While movement of muscles, walking and movement of tongue is controlled by cerebellum. It is present under cerebrum and performs functions associated with coordination.

Respiratory activities, hunger and other automatic functions of body are controlled by Brain-stem. It connects cerebrum and cerebellum to the spinal cord.
