There are a number of ways to see inside your brain. Scanning techniques such as MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and PET (positron emission tomography) permit real-time imaging of the activity inside your head, which can be recorded for you to view later.
But at our current level of medical technology, viewing the physical brain itself would require open-skull surgery, with all the risks which that entails.
List of different glands of the body?
An endocrine gland is a ductless gland that produces and secretes hormones into the blood or lymph nodes, affecting specific target tissues throughout the body. Endocrine glands include the pituitary, pineal, hypothalamus, thymus, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal cortex, adrenal medulla, islets of Langerhans and gonads ie testes and ovaries.
Why would you smell a burnt smell in your nose?
To be honest I might need more information, but I'll see if I can gather what you're trying to ask.
Some people experience a burning odor at random times (some say hair, others synthetic clothes, ect.). What they may actually be smelling is their olfactory sensor in that portion dying off. If you're smelling burning hair or it smells like something is burning all the time, I would suggest getting into an ENT physician ASAP as this is absolutely irreversible. They may be able to stop it from progressing, but will not be able to bring back the portion of smell that's missing once its gone.

How does the nervous system aid in the survival of so many organisms?
The are a couple of evolutionary advantages of an organism developing a central nervous system. The main evolutionary advantage of an organism developing a central nervous system is the brain.
The brain is a funny shape that is unexplainable to describe. Its kind of like a squiggy circle with bumps. Erm, if anyone has a better answer, be sure to edit.
Secretory organ at the base of the brain?
The brain stem is located at the base of the brain, but maybe you are referring to the pituitary gland.
The cerebellum is a fist sized structure located at the base of the brain. It has many more neurons than the cortex.
Where is the primary sensory cortex located?
The primary sensory cortex (or primary somatosensory cortex) is part of the postcentral gyrus in the brain, which forms part of the parietal lobe.
The main function of the primary sensory cortex is it is a receptor for the sense of touch.
parietal lobe
Can seizures cause brain tissue loss?
No.
Brain freeze is a headache most commonly associated with the quick consumption of cold substances, such as ice cream. When the cold substance comes into contact with your palate or the roof of your mouth and sinus cavities it causes the blood vessels to vasoconstrict or get smaller.
As the palate warms the blood vessels dilate. This rapid constriction and dilation is detected by pain receptors that travel to the brain via the trigaminal nerve, which also serves as one of the major nerves for the facial area. Because the pain signal travels with the signals coming from the face, the brain thinks it is feeling pain in the face that isn't really there, this is called referred pain.
The only way the brain is effected is how it perceives the information received from the nerve.

How is the brain involved in a reflex arc?
yes brain i s involved in reflex actions as it makes a pathway for sensory neuron to connect with and brain then directs the motor neuron to take a particular action which is given by effector !(muscles)
Yes it is matter. Since the receptors in your nose only respond to molecules, the "smell" of perfume must be matter in order to activate these receptors. The liquid in perfume is atomized by the pump, physically separating the molecules. The "smell" that you are sensing is the vaporization of aromatic organic molecules from the liquid.
Primary motor area associated with speech?
-Broca's speech area
•neural circuits between Broca's speech area, the premotor area, and primary motor area activate muscles of the larynx, pharynx, and mouth and breathing muscles
