The most delicate organ is the brain.

The brain has an intricate structure and vital functions that controls the body and is highly susceptible to damage.

The human brain is encased in the skull which helps to protect it although it's still is very susceptible to disease and injury, especially if you crack your skull.

The human brain is a very complex organ that serves as the central control center for the human body.

The human brain is like a computer for the body and helps to regulate everything we as humans do which include functions such as breathing, heart rate, thought, memory and even emotions.

It's estimated that the human brain also contains around 86 billion neurons and also a similar number of glial cells, with billions of connections between them.

The human brain consists of the brainstem, cerebrum and the cerebellum.

The average human brain weights around 3 lbs and the structure of the human brain is divided into 3 main parts which is the cerebrum, the cerebellum and the brainstem.

The cerebrum part of the brain is the largest part of the human brain and is responsible for higher cognitive functions.

The cerebellum part of the brain coordinates movement and balance and the brainstem part of the brain regulates basic life functions.

The human brain processes information which include the senses, controls movement, enables conscious actions such as judgement, reasoning and thinking.

The human brain is also made up of neurons which transmit electrical and chemical signals and glial cells that support the neurons and the overall function of the brain.

The human brain is larger and more complex than the brains of other primates and mammals and contributes to human intelligence and cognitive abilities.
