To start with, ​In our anatomy studies, we spend hours learning, visualizing, drawing diagrams and memorizing the location, functions and relationships of each and every structure of the human body .  But how do we move from theoretical understanding to certainty in the clinical world? ​It’s simple: In healthcare, guessing is risky and assumptions are dangerous, so we rely on visual confirmation. ​And that's where Radiography steps in. 🔍 What is Radiography?

10 Interesting Facts About the Human Brain

The human brain plays a crucial role not only in our mental health but also in our physical health and overall well-being. By uncovering these 10 interesting facts, we gain a deeper understanding of the brain’s complexity, adaptability and its extraordinary capacity for learning and memory. 1. The Brain acts as the control center for the body's nervous system — coordinating thoughts, movements, emotions and vital functions. (Obviously, it is 😅) 2. The Human Brain consists of approximately 86 billion neurons interconnected by synapses that process and transmit information, emotions and responses. 3. Despite weighing just about 3 pounds (1.4 kg) and making up only 2% of total body weight, the brain is the most energy-demanding organ. 4. About 75% of the brain is made up of water, which is why staying hydrated is essential for optimal brain function and performance. 5. The brain receives around 20% of the body’s oxygen and blood supply— roughly 750 to 1,000 milliliters of blood every...
