Brain
The brain is an organ that serves as the center of the nervous system in all vertebrates and most invertebrate animals. It is the most complex organ of the vertebrate body that sits in the head. The brain exerts centralized control over other parts of the body. It controls thought, memory, feeling, touch, sight, breathing, temperature, appetite, and every process that regulates our body.
