Solution

The human brain is the main coordinating center of the body, which enables an organism to think and make decisions.

Functions of different parts of the brain are:
Medulla oblongata: It controls involuntary actions and regulates reflex responses. It also controls blood pressure, salivation, and vomiting.
Cerebellum: It controls and coordinates different muscular actions. It is responsible for voluntary actions and maintains the equilibrium of the body during walking, drinking, catching, etc.
Forebrain: It has the following parts:
1. Cerebrum: Which performs thinking, reasoning, speech, intelligence and usage of information.
2. Olfactory: Where lobes are responsible for detecting the smell from different receptors.
3. Diencephalon: Which controls body temperature, the urge of eating, drinking, etc.
