Question

Mark the following statements about the brain as true or false. If a statement is false, correct it to make a true statement.

a. Humans use only 10% of their brains.

Accepted Answer

Everyone. Let's take a look at this question together, determine which statement about the human brain is correct statement. One says humans can only use 10% of their brain. And statement two says the human brain cannot feel pain. So we have to determine whether only statement one is correct. Only statement two is correct. Both statements one and two are correct or neither. Statements, one and two are correct. So in order to solve this question, we have to recall what we have learned about the human brain to determine whether the following statements are correct or incorrect. Starting off statement. One, which says that humans can only use 10% of their brain while we can recall that the idea that humans can only use 10% of their brain is a myth and is not true of which the average human brain weighs about £3 and contains the cerebrum, which is the largest portion and is responsible for all higher cognitive functions. The S column which is responsible for the motor functions such as the co-ordination of movement and balance. And lastly, the brain stem which is dedicated to involuntary functions such as breathing. So the idea that humans can only use 10% of their brain is not a correct statement. And since statement one is incorrect, we can eliminate answer choice a and answer choice. C. So now we have to determine whether statement two is a correct statement or an incorrect statement. Which statement two says that the human brain cannot feel pain. In order for the brain to feel pain, the brain must contain pain receptors. And we know that the human brain does not contain those pain receptors. Therefore, the human brain cannot feel pain and any pain felt within the brain. So statement two is a correct statement which means that answer choice B only statement two is correct is the correct answer. Since statement one, which says that humans can only use 10% of their brain is not a correct statement. And statement two, which says that the human brain cannot feel pain is a correct statement.
