Our amazing human body

The brain 

I think that the most amazing and mysterious part of the human body is the brain. 

I like it because I think that we can know and understand many parts of the body like the heart, the stomach, the liver, the pancreas but the brain...

The brain is like a vial. When we are alive the vial is ON and we can understand some little parts thanks to some exams and tests. But we can't see every part of the brain, because is too delicated and complex and we don't use it completely, if we touch a part that we shouldn't touch we can make a severe damage on it.

The only way to know the brain is when the person is awake and alive, otherwise the brain is just a very big mass of muscles and blood vessels.

The brain controls every function of our body, from our breathing to our feelings and emotions. This is important, because the body doesn't works without the brain. If someone has a dead brain, he or she will be like a dead person, known as a "vegetal state". 

The weigh of the brain depends of the animal, but in humans is usually around 1.2 and 1.5 kg. Is located in our head, and is directly conected to our spine and every part of the nervous system.

Many illness can affect our brain, some of those are incurable diseases like alzheimer's or schizophrenia. The "brain diseases" are complicated and invasive, because it can affect any part of the body and most of time, we can't know where is the failure.

People said that we should exercise our brain like the muscle it is. Reading, eating well, thinking and creating, etc.

Don't you think that the brain is awesome?
