The human brain is unique. It is part of your central nervous system which contains billions or nerve cells and trillions of support cells. The brain is the central computer that controls all bodily functions; the nervous system relays messages from the brain to different parts of the body. It gives us the power to think‚ plan‚ speak‚ and imagine. It controls body temperature‚ blood pressure‚ heart rate‚ and breathing.

Anger affect brain and body Anger is a primary human emotion we all experience from time to time. We feel anger when we feel threatened due to physical conflict‚ injustice‚ humiliation or betrayal. The human brain is setup with a scanning device that recognizes anything that is threatening. It then signals to our body how to react. Studies hall all revealed that before anger affects any part of our body‚ it has to affect our brain first. The brain is our internal alarm system. It signals to the rest

There are three major brain divisions. They are the cerebrum‚ the brainstem‚ and the cerebellum. The cerebrum contains 40% of the weight of the brain and is founded in the superior part of the brain. This portion of the brain has many functions and lobes which perform certain functions. The frontal lobe is involved with “activating and controlling both fine and complex motor activities.” This involves speech. It is also involved with the executive functions‚ such as reasoning and rationalizing‚ among

Discuss the implications of the of the split-brain procedure (severing of the corpus callosum) for the understanding of the connections between the left and right hemisphere. The first known split-brain surgical procedure performed on humans’ was in the early 1940’s by Van Wagenen and Herren‚ in which both intended to control seizures of patients who suffered intractable epilepsy (Francois Boller‚ Jordan Graffman‚ 2000). The procedure performed by Van Wagenen and Herren was based on the speculation
