What are the three different parts of the human brain?
The brain can be divided into the cerebrum, brainstem, and cerebellum: * cerebrum The cerebrum (supratentorial or front of brain) is composed of the right and left hemispheres. Functions of the cerebrum include: initiation of movement, coordination of movement, temperature, touch, vision, hearing, judgment, reasoning, problem solving, emotions, and learning. * brainstem The brainstem (midline or middle of brain) includes the midbrain, the pons, and the medulla. Functions of this area include: movement of the eyes and mouth, relaying sensory messages (hot, pain, loud, etc.), hunger, respirations, consciousness, cardiac function, body temperature, involuntary muscle movements, sneezing, coughing, vomiting, and swallowing. * cerebellum The cerebellum (infratentorial or back of brain) is located at the back of the head. Its function is to coordinate voluntary muscle movements and to maintain posture, balance, and equilibrium. More specifically, other parts of the brain include the following: * pons A deep part of the brain, located in the brainstem, the pons contains many of the control areas for eye and face movements. * medulla The lowest part of the brainstem, the medulla is the most vital part of the entire brain and contains important control centers for the heart and lungs. * spinal cord A large bundle of nerve fibers located in the back that extends from the base of the brain to the lower back, the spinal cord carries messages to and from the brain and the rest of the body. * frontal lobe The largest section of the brain located in the front of the head, the frontal lobe is involved in personality characteristics and movement. * parietal lobe The middle part of the brain, the parietal lobe helps a person to identify objects and understand spatial relationships (where one's body is compared to objects around the person). The parietal lobe is also involved in interpreting pain and touch in the body. * occipital lobe The occipital lobe is the back part of the brain that is involved with vision. * temporal lobe The sides of the brain, these temporal lobes are involved in memory, speech, and sense of smell.
How does your finger tell you whether or not an object is cold?
your finger can tell when an object is hot or clod because when a stimulus (the object) touches your skin, receptors transmit it to the brain and your brain sends a reflex reaction to let go

How can the brain tell if something is hot?
The skin, including the skin on your hands, has thermoreceptors that send messages to the brain about temperature. However, they respond to CHANGES in temperature, not temperature itself. So, if you come in from the cold, all surface temperatures will feel very warm, but gradually as you warm up, the surfaces will seem neutral. And, think about what happens when you put your hand in a lake on a hot day - it feels really cold, but if you jump in, eventually your skin will adjust to the temperature. Now, if the surface is burning hot or freezing cold, the pain receptors, not the thermoreceptors, in your skin react.

If you put your hand next to something really hot which body system tells you to react?
the brain because the nucleus in the brain controls every bone and muscle in your body and when the nerves send a message to the nucleus from that specific muscle or bone the brain is what tells the muscle to move away because of how hot that thing you are touching is.
