The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.

The cerebrum is the major part of the brain and is responsible for the main senses (thinking, hearing, seeing).

Part of the brainstem, the medulla is the connection between the brain and the spinal cord. It controls involuntary actions like breathing, swallowing, and heartbeat.

Part of the peripheral nervous system, the somatic nervous system is made up of nerve fibers that send sensory information to the central nervous system and control voluntary actions.
