the two cerebral hemispheres. The frontal lobe
lies beneath the frontal bone. The frontal lobe
significantly influences personality and is
associated with the higher mental activities,
such as planning, judgment, and conceptualizing.

Occipital Lobe

• Occipital Lobe - Region in the back of the brain
  which processes visual information. Not only is
  the occipital lobe mainly responsible for visual
  reception, it also contains association areas
  that help in the visual recognition of shapes and
  colors. Damage to this lobe can cause visual
  deficits.

  all of the general parts of a cell as well as the
  nucleus, which is the control center. The nucleus
  contains the cell's DNA. The cell body also
  contains many other unique structures responsible
  for making energy and getting rid of cellular
  wastes.

Spinal cord

• The brain stem is the stalk of the brain below
  the cerebrum that connects to the spinal cord. It
  controls processes basic for survival, such as
  heart rate, breathing, digestion, and sleep. It
  is the main route of communication between the
  rest of the brain, the spinal cord, and the
  nerves that run throughout the body.It also has
  its own set of nerves that send and receive
  signals to the face, mouth, tongue, eye muscles,
  ears, and balance-sensing vestibular organs.
