Bis forBrain

Your brain is inside your head, protected by your skull. All creatures that have a skeleton have a brain inside their head. Your brain controls everything that goes on inside your body, like your breathing, digestion and heartbeat. Your brain is what controls how you move your arms and legs to move, and controls talking and thinking.
