The Brain organ is a part of one of the eight (8) systems

of the human anatomy, the nervous system.

The purpose of the nervous system is to gather

information, produce responses to stimuli, and
coordinate the workings of different cells. It is the
command center of the other eights systems in the
human body. The development of life organisms from
union of the egg cell and sperm cell, always starts from
the development of the nervous system, the brain, its
spinal cord and nerves. Even the lowliest organisms such
as the jellyfish and worms, have origins of a nervous
system. The nervous system is divided into two main
parts: the central nervous system (CNS) and the
peripheral nervous system or beyond the brain and the
spinal cord (PNS).
