will call you back within one business day. The brain controls
the body. You can move and feel because of the brain. And it is
the brain that makes you able to think, to show emotions, and to
make judgments. The brain is protected by the skull, tissue, and
fluid. The brain’s right side controls the left side of the
body. And the left side of the brain controls the body’s right
side. Each section of the brain has specific roles. Some skills
and traits occur in more than one section. The main parts of the
brain and some of their functions are listed below. Beneath its
outer covering of tissue (called the dura), the brain is
cushioned and supported by a special fluid. This cerebrospinal
fluid fills the space between the dura and brain. Arteries and
veins carry blood to and from the brain. Without a fresh supply
of blood, brain tissue quickly dies.
