Question

Why is brain the highest coordinating system in our body? Explain.

Answer 1

Dear Student,

Brain is the most important part of the central nervous system. It is the highest coordinating system in our body due to following reasons:

• Cerebellum (part of hindbrain) controls the voluntary movement of muscles present inside our body.
• It is responsible for sending and receiving various signal as responses through the chemical messengers.
• Cortex, the outermost layer of brain cells, mediates the thinking and voluntary movements such as orientation, emotions, memory, speech, etc.
• The midbrain controls motor functions, auditory and visual responses.
• The hindbrain regulates the respiratory mechanisms of the body.
