THE HUMAN BRAIN (the overview)

Image
            Brin is the highest coordinating centre in the body. The brain is located inside the skull of our body. It is protected by the the Bony box in the skull is called cranium. The brain is surrounded by three membranes called meaninges, which help to protect it. The space between the membrane (are meaninges) is filled with cerebro spinal fluid which protects the brain from mechanical shocks. Pairs of cranial nerves arise from the brain.      The brain is broadly divided into three regions : foreman, midbrain and hindbrain. The four brand consists mainly of cerebrum. The midbrain does not have any further divisions. The hindbrain consists of three centres called pons, cerebellum and medula. We will now discuss the functions of the forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain. Let us start with cerebrum which is in the forebrain.      The cerebrum is the main thinking part of the brain. It is the site of our faculties such as l...

SCIENCE FACTS (regarding humans)

1.   MAGNETISM IN HUMAN BEINGS          Extremely weak electric currents are produced in the human body by the movements of charged particles called ions. These are called ionic currents. Now, we have studied that whenever there is an electric current, a magnetic field is produced.   So, when the week any current flow along the nerve cells, they produce magnetic field in our body. For example, when we try to stretch something with our hand, our nerves carry electric impulse to the appropriate muscles. And this electric impulse creates a temporary magnetism in the body. The magnetism produced in the body is very, very weak as compared to the earth's magnetism.   The two main organs of the human body where the magnetic field produced is quite significant are the heart and the brain.          ......................................................... ............................................. ..........,.............
