How do you remember the way to your friend's house? Why do your eyes blink without you ever thinking about it? Where do dreams come from? Your brain is in charge of these things and a lot more.
In fact, your brain is the boss of your body. It runs the show and controls just about everything you do, even when you're asleep. Not bad for something that looks like a big, wrinkly, gray sponge.
Your brain has many different parts that work together. We're going to talk about these five parts, which are key players on the brain team:
cerebrum (say: suh-ree-brum)
cerebellum (say: sair-uh-bell-um)
brain stem
pituitary gland (say: puh-too-uh-ter-ee gland)
hypothalamus (say: hy-po-thal-uh-mus)
