THE BRAIN
by Trip Adler
The brain is the most complex and important organ in
our body. It controls most of the organs in our body and
makes us alive. It makes us move, think and remember. It
also controls our sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. In
this report you are going to read about the parts of the brain
and the way it controls our body. Since the brain has so
many parts, this report focuses alot on the visual system to
show show how the brain is organized.
The brain controls all the organs in our body except the
liver and the spleen. Also, the brain controls our muscles
which gives us the ability to move. The left side of our brain
controls the right
side of our body and the right side of our brain controls the
left side of our body.
The brain is divided into parts. Each part controls a
different part of our body. In the back lower part of the brain
is the cerebellum, which is latin for little brain. It controls our
balance and athletic abilities. At the base of our brain is the
brain stem. It connects the brain to the spinal cord and
controls our cranial nerves.
