Areas of the Human Brain

The human brain is a special part of our body that helps us think and move. It has many different areas that do different jobs. The front part of our brain helps us make good choices. The back part helps us see things. Our brain is like the boss of our body, telling all the parts what to do. It is protected by our skull, which is like a hard helmet.

Deep inside our brain is a part called the brain stem that connects to our spinal cord. The brain stem helps us do things we don’t have to think about, like breathing and making our heart beat. It works all the time, even when we are sleeping. The brain stem is one of the oldest parts of our brain and is very important for keeping us alive. Without it, our body wouldn’t know how to do these important jobs.
