Match the following: 1. Cerebrum a. controls movement and balance 2. Cerebellum b. controls the reflex actions 3. Medulla c. has many nerve endings 4. Spinal cord d. controls our involuntary activities 5. Skin e. controls our sense organs

1- e The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain. It looks like a walnut. It controls our thinking, learning ability, speech, memory, basic intelligence and sense organs. 2- a The cerebellum is smaller than the cerebrum, and it lies below it. It controls muscle movements and helps us to maintain the balance of our body. 3- d The medulla is a stem-shaped structure beneath the cerebellum. It connects the brain to the spinal cord. The medulla controls all our involuntary activities such as breathing, heartbeat and blood circulation. 4- b The spinal cord is a tube-like structure that originates from the medulla and extends to the lower end of our backbone. The spinal cord is made up of many nerves and form a network all over our body. It controls our reflex actions. 5- c The skin is the outermost covering of the body. The skin has many nerve endings that are sensitive to heat, cold, pressure and pain. 1. Cerebrum e. controls our sense organs 2. Cerebellum a. controls movement and balance 3. Medulla d. controls our involuntary activities. 4. Spinal cord b. controls the reflex actions 5. Skin c. has many nerve endings
