Brain stem has 3 parts:\n\n1. Midbrain.. Controls:\nNerve pathway of cerebral hemispheres.\n\nAuditory and Visual reflex centers.\n\nCranial Nerves:\n\nCN III - Oculomotor (Related to eye movement), [motor]. \nCN IV - Trochlear (Superior oblique muscle of the eye which rotates the eye down and out), [motor]. \n\n2. Pons... Controls: \n Respiratory Center.\n\nCranial Nerves:\n\nCN V - Trigeminal (Skin of face, tongue, teeth; muscle of mastication), [motor and sensory]. \nCN VI - Abducens (Lateral rectus muscle of eye which rotates eye outward), [motor]. \nCN VII - Facial (Muscles of expression), [motor and sensory]. \nCN VIII - Acoustic (Internal auditory passage), [sensory].  \n\n3. Medulla Oblongata... Controls:\nCrossing of motor tracts.\n\nCardiac Center.\n\nRespiratory Center.\n\nVasomotor (nerves having muscular control of the blood vessel walls) Center \n\nCenters for cough, gag, swallow, and vomit.\n\nCranial Nerves:\n\nCN IX - Glossopharyneal (Muscles and mucous membranes of pharynx, the constricted openings from the mouth and the oral pharynx and the posterior third of tongue.), [mixed]. \nCN X - Vagus (Pharynx, larynx, heart, lungs, stomach), [mixed]. \nCN XI - Accessory (Rotation of the head and shoulder), [motor]. \nCN XII - Hypoglossal (Intrinsic muscles of the tongue), [motor].

The first link below has a good description of the different lobes of the brain and the functional areas of the cerebral cortex (scroll down).\n\nThe second has a nice picture of the 'homunculus' showing the way body parts are 'mapped' in the sensory and motor areas of the cortex.

* Cardiovascular system: blood circulations with heart and blood vessels\n    * Digestive system: processing food with mouth, stomach and intestines\n    * Endocrine system: communicating within the body using hormones\n    * Immune system: defending against disease-causing agents\n    * Integumentary system: skin, hair and nails\n    * Lymphatic system: structures involved in the transfer of lymph between tissues and the bloodstream\n    * Muscular system: moving the body\n    * Nervous system: collecting, transferring and processing information with brain and nerves\n    * Reproductive system: the sex organs\n    * Respiratory system: the organs used for breathing, the lungs\n    * Skeletal system: structural support and protection through bones\n    * Urinary system: the kidneys and associated structures involved in the production and excretion of urine

The cerebellum (Latin: "little brain") is a region of the brain that plays an important role in the integration of sensory perception and motor output. Many neural pathways link the cerebellum with the motor cortex—which sends information to the muscles causing them to move—and the spinocerebellar tract—which provides feedback on the position of the body in space (proprioception). The cerebellum integrates these two functions, using the constant feedback on body position to fine-tune motor movements.\n\nIts location is shown here:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebellum

The human brain controls heartbeat, respiration, digestion and other autonomic functions. It is the seat of thought, reasoning, and abstraction. The brain is what makes the cognitive mind possible such as perception, interpretation, imagination, and memories.\n\nWhile all that is good and fine if this is a homework question for elementary school or middle school just put down that it controls thoughts and emotions or something less complicated.

"...The head has an extremely complex geometry. It consists of eight layered bones of irregular thickness (~6mm) joined by sutures. The base of the skull is a thick irregular plate (~12mm) with several small foramina magnum. The skull exterior is covered by loosely coupled layers of soft tissue that constitute the scalp. The interior of the skull is occupied by the brain, which is neither fluid nor solid, but rather a gel like medium, partitioned into many recesses by the folds of a system of elastic covers. Further more the brain is surrounded by pressurized cerebrospinal fluid. Biological tissues are inhomogeneous, anisotropic, and non-linear. Most of the finite element models were based on small deformations of elastic or visco-elastic materials."\n\nlol, that's scientific.

The brain stem is the stalk of the brain below the cerebral hemispheres. It is the major route for communication between the forebrain, the spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. It controls various autonomic functions such as respiration and the regulation of heart rhythms as well as perceptual functions such as the primary aspects of sound localization.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_stem

It has its basis in brain structure.  I saw it on Discovery Channel a while back.

Here's the lot for you, more than what you asked for-\n\nAmygdala – limbic structure involved in many brain functions, including emotion, learning and memory. It is part of a system that processes "reflexive" emotions like fear and anxiety.\n\nCerebellum – governs movement.\n\nCingulate gyrus – plays a role in processing conscious emotional experience.\n\nFornix – an arch-like structure that connects the hippocampus to other parts of the limbic system.\n\nFrontal lobe – helps control skilled muscle movements, mood, planning for the future, setting goals and judging priorities.\n\nHippocampus – plays a significant role in the formation of long-term memories. \n\nMedulla oblongata – contains centers for the control of vital processes such as heart rate, respiration, blood pressure, and swallowing.\n\nLimbic system – a group of interconnected structures that mediate emotions, learning and memory.\n\nOccipital lobe – helps process visual information.\n\nParahippocampal gyrus – an important connecting pathway of the limbic system.\n\nParietal lobe – receives and processes information about temperature, taste, touch, and movement coming from the rest of the body. Reading and arithmetic are also processed in this region.\n\nPons – contains centers for the control of vital processes, including respiration and cardiovascular functions. It also is involved in the coordination of eye movements and balance.\n\nTemporal lobe – processes hearing, memory and language functions. \n\nThalamus – a major relay station between the senses and the cortex (the outer layer of the brain consisting of the parietal, occipital, frontal and temporal lobes).
