The Brain

The brain is an incredibly complex organ that is located inside your skull. It controls the rest of your body. Your brain is the most complex machine on the planet. It is also responsible for each individual's personality, memories, movements, and how we sense the world. It is hard to explain the great complexity of the human brain, but I will try. The brain is made up of 100 billion nerve cells, and it weighs about 3 pounds. It loses the title of heaviest organ to the liver, but it is still the most important organ there is. The brain not only controls our physical actions, but it is also in control of every single muscle, organ, bone, and cell in you entire body. The organ part, (thank goodness) is controlled subconsciously. Imagine trying to walk, talk, and, at the same time, breathe, pump blood, digest food, ght infections, and heal cuts. Now imagine doing that everyday, every week, every month, for the rest of your life. The brain is made up of ve sections, The Frontal Lobe, the Parietal Lobe, The Occipital Lobe, the Temporal Lobe, and the Cerebellum. By reading this precise summary, I am sure you now realize why the brain is considered extremely complex. But dont stop here. Go, Google brain, and nd out more! Maybe you can nd out more than me!
