What Does The Brain Do?

 The Brain, The main organ of the entire body. This organ controls functions such as body movment, thinking, memory and all of our involuntary processes.


MOVMENT

Have you ever wondered how you move your body, well whats causing it is the brain sending signals to a specific body part that you want to move travelling at 70-120 meters per second or 156-270 miles an hour and almost instantaneously allowing you to move.

THINKING/MEMORY

Not only movment but the brain also controls thinking and memories, two functions you need to live a normal life. The memory part f the brain is called the Amygdala, not only does the Amygdala control memorises it also controls emotions such as happiness and sadness. The thinking part of the brain is called the Cerebrum, which also controls decision-making.

INVOLUNTARY FUNCTIONS

The involuntary functions are the functions you do involuntary, hence the name. These functions consist of brathing, swallowing, blood pumping, and heart beating. All these functions are contolled by the brain stem. The brain stem is the stem that connects the brain to the spinal cord therefore allowing our systems such as the digestive system to function.

In conclusion the brain and all its functions are crucial to the survival for humanity and allow humans to thrive.
