BR IN STUDY
Our brains are like computers
that store our memory and
control how we think and react.
The average human brain
weighs 3 lbs and is made up of
75% water. It is the fattest
organ in the body and consists
of at least 60% fat. Your brain
uses 20% of the total oxygen
and 20% of the blood circulating in your body. Basically,
your brain uses 20% of your
body’s energy and is only
about 2% of your body’s
weight!
According to Discover Magazine, the human brain has an
average of about 70,000
thoughts per day.
The Brain is divided into 2
hemispheres, left and right.
The left brain controls all the
muscles on the right side of the
body, and vice versa. One
side might be slightly more
dominant, as with left or righthandedness.
