Abstract

Undoubtedly, the brain is an essential organ of the human body. Without this vital organ, senses such sight, hearing, tasting, smelling and feeling cannot be put to use. The brain controls everything in the human body 1 and is considered a complex structure. It is a mass of nervous tissue assembled together, weighing three pounds with more than ten billion cells present in it. The brain is able to receive impulses from various structures of the body. The brain is given the function of examining the received impulses and making the necessary adjustments or movements for that particular event. The brain is termed as man's consciousness, memory, reasoning and intelligence. The idea that emotions are controlled by the heart is a misnomer. The emotions felt by humans are still controlled by the brain 2.
The human brain is synonymous to an electrical company wherein million of wires are needed to make the transfer of impulses smoothly and if one wire is not functioning accordingly, it will have an effect on the whole system. Similar with the brain, millions of nerves are present and function properly to guarantee smooth transmission of impulses. If a part of the brain has been affected or if a nerve was damaged along the process, it can affect the proper functioning of the brain.
