KidsHealth presents "How the Body Works,"

with Chloe and the Nurb.

Whoa.

Well that was a big one.

I'll say.

Hey, where did the brain go?

That nose tornado scattered the brain all across Bodylandia.

Hello, children.

I am the cerebrum.

Oh, hi, friend.

Do you know where we could find the brain?

You're going on a marvelous adventure

to find four important parts of the brain.

Wow.

I am the biggest part of the brain,

the thinking part of the brain, and the part that controls

your voluntary muscles.

Without me, you wouldn't be able to dance or talk

to your friends.

No dancing!

Oh, dear.

I am the cerebrum.

I store your memories, and make it possible

for you to have feelings and emotions.

I'm located right here.

By weight, I'm more than 85% of your brain.

I'm split into two halves.

The right half of the cerebrum controls

the left side of your body, and the left

controls the right side.

You need different parts of the cerebrum

to do different things.

Everything from doing a math problem to playing the piano.

Ooh, that's amazing.

I am kind of amazing.

Now, on with the adventure.

Just follow the brainy brick road.

Follow the brainy brick road.

Follow the brainy brick road.

We will, already!

You don't have to be all pushy about it.

Boo.

[SCREAMING]

[LAUGHING]

I'm the brain stem.

[SCREAMING]

I connect the brain to the spinal cord.

Could you stop yelling?

Sorry, we scare easily.

I'm located at the base of the brain, where I connect

the brain to the spinal cord.

The spinal cord is a bundle of nerves

that is protected by the spine.

The spinal cord is the main pathway for information

to flow from the brain to the rest of the body.

Wow.

Nice to meet you, brain stem.

I'm in charge of all the functions your body needs

to stay alive, like breathing air, circulating blood,

and digesting food.

And that, you do.

[HUMMING]

Hey, Nurb and Chloe.

Hi, Bridge.

Well, I guess you could say I'm sort of like a bridge.

I'm part of the brain called the corpus callosum.

I'm a thick band of nerve fibers they connect

the two halves of the brain.

That's impressive.

Oh, hi, friend.

Nice to meet you, friends.

I'm the cerebellum.

I control your balance, movement, and coordination.

I'm located at the back of the brain, right over here.

It's my job to keep you balanced.

Oh, that's amazing.

Well, let's see: cerebrum, corpus callosum, brain stem,

cerebellum.

I think we've done it, Chloe.

That's right.

Your adventure is complete.

Now, just click your heels and you can go home.

Click my heels?

That's not very scientific.

[POOF]
