What is the human brain made of?

Answer 1

The human brain contains many tissue types however only about 10% of the cells are actually neurones the rest is made up of blood vessels and by far the most cells are glial cells (oligodendrocytes etc)

Answer 2

The brain is the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals It is located in the head, usually close to the primary sensory organs for such senses as vision, hearing, balance, taste, and smell. The brain of a vertebrate is the most complex organ of its body. In a typical human the cerebral cortex (the largest part) is estimated to contain 15-33 billion neurons, each connected by synapses to several thousand other neurons. These neurons communicate with one another by means of long protoplasmic fibers called axons, which carry trains of signal pulses called action potentials to distant parts of the brain or body targeting specific recipient cells.

Answer 3

The brain is the cognitive organ of the human body, and the part of the central nervous system that coordinates the functions of the body. It is located inside the skull in the human head.

The word brain can also colloquially mean the calculating or computing system of a mechanical device. It is used in slang to mean an intelligent person, or the controlling individual (mastermind, brains) of a project or enterprise.

Answer 4

The human brain is the center of the human nervous system. Enclosed in the cranium, the human brain has the same general structure as that of other mammals, but is over three times larger than the brain of a typical mammal with an equivalent body size.[1] Most of the spatial expansion comes from the cerebral cortex, a convoluted layer of neural tissue which covers the surface of the forebrain. Especially expanded are the frontal lobes, which are associated with executive functions such as self-control, planning, reasoning, and abstract thought. The portion of the brain devoted to vision, the occipital lobe, is also greatly enlarged in human beings.

Answer 5

The human brain is primarily made up of neurons, which are specialized cells that transmit and process electrical and chemical signals. It also contains glial cells that support and protect the neurons, as well as blood vessels that provide nutrients and oxygen. In terms of composition, the brain is mostly water, fats, proteins, and carbohydrates.

Answer 6

The brain is the control center for movement, sleep, hunger, thirst, and virtually every other vital activity necessary to survive. It is conected to all the main orgnans in the body

Answer 7

The human brain has different parts that take control of different functions in your body.
