Step-by-step solution
The brain acts as the "command and control system" and controls various functions such as voluntary movements, balance, vital organs, circadian rhythms, endocrine glands and human behavior. The brain is divided into three major parts, the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain, which are the main regions that control different functions in the body.The cranial meninges consisting of dura mater, arachnoid and pia mater protect the brain and act as a protective layer. The cerebrum forms the major part of the human brain.
