Everyone has a brain but who can say that we really know how our brains work? This is hardly surprising, given that the brain is the most complex system within the body, not only controlling our everyday living but alo giving us the capacity to be aware, feel emotions and think. Each person's brain is of the same makeup but every one functions in an ever so unique way. Take tour into the organ that we call our brain.

[Mapping the Nervous System]

In this brain tour, we look into the map of the body. The brain belongs to a certain network on this map. This network is called the nervous system. The nervous system is further broken down into subsystems that all work together to make our bodies run smoothely. Most of the times, this system is so low in maintenance, we brain owners take so little notice or it. Little do we know, this map's central lies up there in our heads.

Like every city, the brain has it's ways of working and protecting itself. The brain has a transport network that links it to the rest of the body. It even has a business district where information is stored and communicated. The anatomy of the brain will be revealed in its wonders as we look into all its structure. Take a seat and enjoy the quiet anatomy of the brain.

Males have different brains from females. Look at how...

From its tiny beginnings in an embryo, the brain develops rapidly, reaching a quarter of its size by birth. The brain from embryo through fetus reveals us much of the marvel of human life.
