Fun Facts Of the Body

Do you know that your brain has around 100 billion nerve cells? It also has 1,000 billion other cells, which cover the nerve cells and the parts of the

nerve cells which form the links between one cell and another, feed them and keep them healthy.

  Your brain keeps on growing until you are about 20 years old. By then the brain has

made lots of links which it no longer needs so it is able to shed any unwanted connections and still have billions of brain cells left to cope with whatever you may want to do. You can still make new connections even when you are 100 years old, so get Grandma going on the computer - she may not learn as fast as you but she can do it!

  The front of the human brain is larger than any other animal's, even the dinosaur's! The left side of your brain is usually better at problem solving, maths and writing. The right side of the brain is creative and helps you to be good at art or music. The brain stores all sorts of things in the memory including facts and figures and all

the smells, tastes and things you have seen, heard or touched. Your brain can also find things that you have remembered---like how to spell ce-re-

bell-um.
