Solution
Brain:
The brain is a complicated organ that regulates our body's cognition, learning, emotions, sensation, motor function, vision, breathing, temperature, and hunger.
The nervous system, or CNS, is made up of the brain and the spinal cord that extends from it.
The cranium is composed of eight bones that protect the brain:
The ethmoid bone: The ethmoid bone is a cube-shaped bone placed between the eyes in the middle of the skull.
The sphenoid bone: It is a single bone in the cranial cavity located posterior to the frontal bone but prior to the occipital.
The frontal bone: The forehead is formed by the frontal bone.
The occipital bone: The occipital bone is a trapezoid-shaped bone at the cranium's lower rear (skull).
Two parietal bones: The upper edges of the skull are formed by two parietal bones.
Two temporal bones: The bottom sides of the skull are formed by two temporal bones.
