The Brain
1. Cerebrum (meaning ‘brain’ in Latin)

2. Cerebellum

3. Brain stem

Two hemispheres, left and right

Contralateral (opposite side)

Ipsilateral (same side)

The brain receives a constant flow of blood (20% blood to heart) and oxygen

Deprivation = unconsciousness

Stroke = bleed/ blockage in brain resulting in dying brain cells (not enough
oxygen)
