Brains and Bodies

Brains and bodies work together as a complex system. The brain controls thoughts, emotions, and decision-making, while also regulating vital functions like heartbeat and breathing. The body sends sensory information back to the brain, such as touch or pain, allowing for responses. This communication occurs through the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. The brain processes signals and issues commands, enabling movement, perception, and thought. Together, they maintain homeostasis and adapt to our environment, ensuring our survival and enabling us to interact meaningfully with the world.
