All cells are surrounded by a membrane that contains the cell’s contents and acts as a semipermeable barrier to substances on either side of it. Many substances move across the membrane with the help of proteins. HINT See Infographics 3.3 and 3.7. KNOW IT j 6.…
is something that lets some things in and some things out of the cell. It is an outer cover for the cell. If the cell membrane was non existences the cell would spill all over the place. Its function is to protect the integrity of the interior of the cell by allowing certain substances into the cell, while keeping other substances out. It is composed of a thin, double-layered sheet of lipids, around the Cell and is a protective membrane layer around every Cell.…

A plasma membrane protects the interior contents present in the cell from spilling out into the external environment and also protects the cell from harmful substances present in the external environment from entering into the cell.…
It is made in the center of your brain and travels throughout your brain and down to your spinal cord. In hydrocephalus, the fluid is blocked at some point. The problem is that the brain is making more fluid. The hydrocephalus can be very deadly if you don 't have a device called a shunt installed surgically.…

One fact the Mark Nichols says about the brain is “Scientist around the world are tackling age old mysteries of the brain and beginning to solve such puzzles as how memory works and why some people’s psyches can withstand the kind of horrific experiences that traumatize others. Mark Nichols also discusses how Canadian Researchers are trying to find a cure for neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, and Lou Gehrig’s Diseases, and show how to find out why brains cells don’t regenerate after injury. He talks about how the brain contains about 50 bill to 100 billion brain cells that make it very difficult to grasp what all the goes on in the brain.…
It also plays an important role in the proper functioning of nerve and brain cells.…
The brain is the control center of the human body. It is protected by the skull and is made up of three main parts, the cerebrum, the cerebellum and the Brainstem. The brain is the boss of the body, it runs the show and controls just about everything one does, even when one’s asleep. (Kidshealth, n.d.) During this brief tour guide of the brain, one will see how the brain fits into the Central Nervous System, how the main parts work together, and what would happen if one of those main parts were damaged.…

First of all, what is BRAIN? Brain is an organ in our body that controls functions, movements, sensations and thoughts and ability to reason out. If we don’t have we cannot move, think, and have a normal life in short we die. Our heart pump approximately 20% of blood in our brain. The brain needs constant blood flow in order to keep up with the heavy metabolic demands of the neurons. The brain is the main control center for all individual activities. It controls our muscular activities or movements and similarly it stores our happy and sad memories. It correspondingly provide emotions like happiness, sadness, angriness and other emotions that we feel. The brain is main part of our nervous system. Nervous system is a convoluted combination of…
