Human Brain
The brain is the main control centre of the body. It is protected by the skull, meninges and
cerebrospinal fluid. Exam Tip: Practise labelled diagrams and learn the functions of each part from
NCERT.

Forebrain, Midbrain and Hindbrain
The forebrain controls thinking, memory and voluntary actions. The midbrain controls visual and
auditory reflexes. The hindbrain includes the cerebellum, pons and medulla, which control balance
and involuntary actions. Exam Tip: Practise labelled diagrams and learn the functions of each part
from NCERT.

Spinal Cord
The spinal cord connects the brain with the rest of the body and conducts nerve impulses. It also
controls many reflex actions. Exam Tip: Practise labelled diagrams and learn the functions of each
part from NCERT.

Reflex Action and Reflex Arc
A reflex action is a quick, automatic response to a stimulus. The pathway followed by nerve
impulses during a reflex action is called the reflex arc. Exam Tip: Practise labelled diagrams and
learn the functions of each part from NCERT.

The peripheral nervous system consists of cranial and spinal nerves that carry messages between
the central nervous system and different body parts. Exam Tip: Practise labelled diagrams and
