Step 1

The brain is a vital organ of the body that controls all functions and interprets information. It represents the essence of mind and soul. Creativity, emotion, and intelligence are some processes controlled by the brain. It is protected by the skull and consists of the cerebrum, brainstem, and cerebellum. It receives stimulus by five senses: touch, smell, sight, hearing, and taste- often at one time. It is accountable for memory, speech, controlling thoughts, breathing process, movement of the legs and arms, and the activity of various organs in our body.
