Study Notes
The Brain
- Functions as a microcontroller, managing and processing information efficiently.
- Responsible for coordinating various bodily functions and responses to external stimuli.
The Senses
- Act as sensors, gathering data from the surrounding environment.
- Play a crucial role in perception, allowing the brain to interpret sensory information such as sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell.
The Actions
- Operate as actuators, executing tasks based on directives from the brain.
- Enable physical responses, such as movement or speech, in reaction to processed information from the senses.
