The Brain
Space between membranes is filled by cerebrospinal fluid
– Serves as a shock absorbing medium– Protects the brain against mechanical shocks
– Maintains constant pressure in and around the brain
– Helps in the exchange of nutrients and waste products between the nerve tissue and the blood

The human brain has various parts that are used to control various functions of our body
Brain of an average adult– about 1000 billion neurons– weighs about 1300 grams
Protected in the brain box, cranium or skull
Covered by three membranes called meninges
