Is the brain a organ?
The brain is a organ. The brain is the organ that receives messages from the six senses; the touch sense, the seeing sense, the hearing sense, the smelling sense and the tasting senses. If you are asking 'Is the brain the largest organ?' Well, no. The largest organ is not the brain, or the chest, or the stomach. It is the skin.
What body system receives information from inside and outside body and responds to that information?
I am taking a test got the same question and I just guessed and put down "Nervous System" for the sake of the test.
What part of the brain are sensations such as touch and pain integrated in?
thigh pain
What body system does the nerve cell belong to?
Neurons are the cells that carry impulses in the nervous system. They belong to both the central nervous system (the brain and cord) and the peripheral nervous system. For example, these cells can carry information from your touch receptors in the skin of your fingers to the brain where you interpret it. Perhaps what you touch is very hot. In a flash, the brain sends information back to your muscles so that you will remove the fingers as quickly as possible so you will not burn them.
What task does the somatosensory cortex primarily engage inWhat task does the somatosensory cortex primarily engage in?
This part of the brain processes information from the skin (touch, temperature and pain).
Which unique function of the brain occurs in the postcentral gyrus?
receives primary sensory information of touch, pressure, pain , taste & temperature
What sense organ goes to the spinal cord before the brain?
This mainly happens in the case of a reflex action. The spine receives the information from the receptor and gives commands to the effector a fraction of a second before the brain registers the action. This happens only with the sense of touch
Which lobes of the brain play an important role in the sensation and perception of touch?
The parietal lobe of the brain contains the strip that receives sensations of touch, balance and bodily position. This strip is referred to as the soma sensation strip.
How can thought be inside the brain if you can't touch thought?
Empirical encephalograph readings indicate that brain activity (electrical readings) corresponds to a thought. While not entirely concrete, it is the best indicator of an immeasurable activity. The brain, while an organic unit, sends and receives electrical impulses from throughout the body. Only from area to area are these patterns known as "thought" evident by means of the encephalograph. We also cannot "touch" sensory information like touch, cold, heat, itching, pain, etc., yet we know these exist. Where they exist relies on the network of neurons and chemical neurotransmitters that neurons use to "pass" the information between one neuron and the next, or between one area of the brain and another. As another example of the encoding of information collected and processed by neurons, one only has to think of a memory---such as the face of your mother. You can touch the face of your mom, but you cannot touch the memory of your mother's face.
If i touch the surface of the brain how does it feel?
touch the surface of the brain how does it feel

Can you touch your brain?
You can touch your brain, except not by yourself. There are ways.
What do the four lobes of the brain do?
The frontal lobes control reasoning, memory, and speech. The temporal lobes are responsible for hearing, taste, and smell. The occipital lobes handle sight and other visual information. The parietal lobes control sensory processing, including touch.
What body system receives information from inside and outside body and responds to that information?
I am taking a test got the same question and I just guessed and put down "Nervous System" for the sake of the test.
What part of the skin sends the message to the brain?
There are receptors in the dermal part of the skin that sends various types of information to the brain; hot, cold, light touch, pressure (deep touch) and pain.
Why are there many touch receptors in a person's fingertips?
beacause the information goes in your brain for e.g a blind person can not see therefore it touches various things and then the information goes in their brains
What is the funtion of the spinal cord?
The spinal cord is basically the "information highway of the body", back and forth between the brain and the rest of the body. This information includes touch, temperature, pain, and signals telling muscles to move.It also supports the cells of brain.
