Human brain structure/function

The brain is the control center of the body, managing thoughts, actions, and emotions. It's composed of different interconnected regions each with specific roles.

Myopia (short-sightedness)

A common eye defect where distant objects appear blurry but nearby objects are clear. Corrected with concave lenses.

Mendel's rules

Rules governing heredity, explaining how traits are passed from parents to offspring.

Define Neutralisation reaction

A chemical reaction where an acid and a base react to form a salt and water.
