Here I’ll be explaining the brain:
How does The Brain work?
The Brain,eh? Some 500,000 years ago no one knew what powered our bodies, but now they do thanks to medical science. The Brain is probably the most complex and most difficult to understand, really! It’s composed of around 100 billion Neurons (yes,that’s 1 followed by 11 zeros) and messages from the nervous system can travel at speeds of up to 400km/h, Wow!!!!
First we need to know what the parts of the brain. The first part of the brain takes up 85% of the whole brain and is called the cerebrum. It consists of the left side and right side- the left controls the right side and vice-versa.The cerebellum controls muscle movement and balance: the BrainStem is the part that connects the brain to the spinal cord.
Now, let’s talk about pain receptors. Pain Receptors are located on your skin,muscles and tendons and recognize pain. A bee sting will trigger the pain receptors nearby to send messages to the brain to control the pain- these messages can travel over 230km/h.Next,the Brain will create a stinging sensation to alert the body to react to the venom, this might include crying or shivering and shouting!
Lastly, the problems! Some common brain problems are ASD and concussion. ASD is widely known as autism- Autism is a seriously weird developmental disorder which affects your communication and interaction. Concussion on the other hand is a brain injury by knock of the head.Some symptoms are headache, blackouts, vomiting and nausea.
The Brain is so important if you lose it you’ll die. Therefore extreme care should be taken to make sure you’re not a zombie!
