As mammals our aerobic metabolic system requires oxygen for us to sustain life. The organ that transports oxygen from the environment into the body where it is needed, are the lungs. Oxygen is transported through cellular respiration from the lungs to tissues and organs. Between 2,100 to 2,400 gallons of air is breathed to fuel 2,400 gallons of blood that is pumped into the heart. Respiration is controlled by the medulla oblongata, which deals with the autonomic function of breathing. This characteristic allows one to breathe without having to think about the process but can also be overridden and controlled in certain situations. As a result of respiration, carbon dioxide is produced where it is removed for oxygen to be restored. The purpose…

The command center of the human nervous system is the brain. The sensory organs send information to the brain, which then sends output to the muscles. The largest part of the brain is the cerebrum. Underneath the cerebrum lies the brainstem, and behind that sits the cerebellum. The outmost layer of the cerebrum is called the cerebral cortex, which has four lobes. There is a frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and occipital lobe. The brain develops from three sections known as the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. There are two hemispheres, the left and the right. These two hemispheres are connected by a bundle of nerve fibers called the corpus callosum.…

The first system of the human body is the nervous system. The nervous system is made up of two parts: the central nervous system, which includes the brain and the spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system, which consists of neurons found all over the body. A person’s brain is like a control room. It helps regulate all the other systems of the body by sending signals down the spinal cord and through the body nerves to all the other organs. In addition, the brain has different parts which specialize in processing thoughts, memories, feelings, dreams, speech, physical coordination, balance, hunger, and sleep. The fact that the nervous system is extremely complicated, without it, your systems in your body could not communicate.…

The largest portion of the human brain is the cerebrum. Also known as the cortex, the cerebrum is involved with higher brain functions like thought and action. The cerebral cortex has four lobes – the frontal lobe, the parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and the occipital lobe (“Brain Structures and their Functions,” n.d.; “Frontal Lobe - The Brain Made Simple,” n.d.).…
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.…
The human body is a unique and fascinating entity. There is not much notice taken of the features the human body is capable of. The brain is necessary to perform day-to-day actions, such as the ability to speak, and see amongst us. This brain is made up of simple mater (Pia mater, Arachnoid mater, Dura mater) and the cranial surface to protect the brain. We live our daily lives without acknowledging the importance of this organ, the brain, unless you’re a medical student of course! Despite that people go on with their daily activities using the human natural senses. Looking at the world through the eyes, watching for any danger around us; ears for hearing the sounds detecting something that may call for danger, the nose to smell the natural environment, touching and feeling surfaces to become familiar with the surrounding, and to taste the different foods that provide nourishment to stay healthy. All these senses are essential for survival, although what happens if one or more of these senses are taken away? Surviving the everyday world becomes just a little tougher and even impossible in other societies. The cranial nerves in the brain control these senses along with other bodily functions necessary to survive. There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves that emerge from the brain out of various foramina or fissures from the cranium. Each cranial nerve contains sensory or motor fibers or a combination of these fivers to carry impulses from the brain to the various locations allowing the individual to perform normal human functions.…
