The cranium forms a shell-like shape around your brain to protect it from falls and summer-saults.

The cranium makes a shield to your brain by stopping falls and hits to your head. This shell like shape is very hard and is very hard to break or crack, that is why it protects your brain.

Lee was in an automotive wreck in which his head hit the windshield A piece of glass entered his brain after passing through his skull What type of injury is this?

Lee likely sustained a penetrating head injury, where the piece of glass penetrated his skull and entered his brain. This can cause significant damage to brain tissue and may require surgery to remove the foreign object and address any resulting complications. Immediate medical attention is crucial in these cases to minimize potential long-term effects.


Do you loose 10 brain cells everytime you hit your head?

Yes. You loose them becausse of how sensitive your brain is.


How does the movement help in the cerebrum?

Presumably you're asking about how the cerebrum isn't physically attached to the skull, but is rather surrounded by a fluid. It adds a shock absorber. If you fall and hit your head, your brain slides around and is slowed down by the fluid, lessening or preventing its impact against the skull. If it were directly mounted, even a slight jolt to the head would cause a concussion.


How many brain cells do you loose if something hits your head?

It depends on the severity of the impact. Mild bumps may not cause any loss of brain cells, while severe traumatic brain injuries can result in significant cell loss. It's important to seek medical attention if you hit your head to ensure proper evaluation and care.


What damage might have been done to the function of the brain particularly the functions associated with the frontal lobe if you hit your forehead?

This answer varies on how hard you hit your head. If you hit your head very hard you may have a subdural hematoma (a collection of blood on the surface of the brain, can cause serious brain damage and/or death), an epidural hematoma (bleeding in between the inside of the skull and the dura, can cause serious brain damage and/or death), a cerebral contusion (a brusing of the brain, can cause serious brain damage and/or death) , a intracranial hemorrhage (intracranial bleeding, causes paralysis, memory loss and/or death), or a concussion (memory loss and/or death). Most cases of subdural hematomas and epidrual hematomas require a craniotomy to stop the bleeding. If you did not hit your head very hard you may not even have a medical condition.

Why is the brain protected with a body structure called skull?

cuz otherwise ur brain would fall out, and the brain is a delicate organ, which means it needs to be protected. for example, if u were hit in the head with a ball, without the skull, ur brain would be damaged


What a concussion?

A concussion is basically a bruise on your brain. If you hit your head hard enough, (not that I'm saying you should) your brain can move and hit the inside of your skull. Since the brain is very sensitive, it bruises if it even touches the inside of your skull. Luckily, your brain has proective fluid inside your skull to prevent a concussion. yo mama is going to take u 2 the hospital if u get one

Why do fighters get knocked out when hit?

Because, that is how the human body is built. The head is extremely sensitive to impact and most normal individuals will be knocked out unconscious or at least will get dizzy with just one hard shot to their head. Though the skull is hard and can protect the brain and the contents of our head, it is not designed to withstand too much damage. That is why fighters get knocked out when they get hit in their head.
