INFORMATION - BRAIN - THE HUMAN BRAIN-2

FUNCTION OF BRAIN

Function of Brain:

To eat, sleep, fear and reproduction are basic instincts. They are the basic functions of the brain.

Besides that the brain serves many other important functions.

It gives meaning to things that happen in the world surrounding us.

We have five senses: Sight, Smell, Hearing, Touch, and Taste.

Through these senses, our brain receives messages. These messages are put together by our brain in a way that has meaning for us. Then these messages or their meaning are stored in our memory-for short or long period.

Thus brain's function is to receive the information through our senses, to analyze them and to store them or their meaning for the future need. To some extent computer does this. Only difference is, our brain uses the past experience stored in our memory in a time of need to guide our actions and reactions in different harmful or non-harmful situations. This decision making can not be done by computer itself.

Our brain controls our thoughts, memory, and speech. It controls the movements of our arms and legs, movements of our head and face. It also controls the functions of many organs within our body, like Heart, Lungs, Eyes, Intestines, etc. It also determines how we respond to different stressful or non-stressful situations.

Thus, a single brain serves many different specific and important functions.

What a brain!

GREAT!!!
