You would most likely use all areas of you brain as you are doing these things, you have covered a number of different skills, including motor skills.

I would suggest that you get a book about how the brain works. Get a starter book, then work your way up.

To get you started, I have attached the following link that explains the different parts of the brain and which functions they control, you can then link the functions to what would be used in your different questions.
