The adult human brain weighs on average about 1.5 kg (3.3 lb). [3] In men the average weight is about 1370 g and in women about 1200 g. [4] [contradictory] The volume is around 1260 cm 3 in men and 1130 cm 3 in women, although there is substantial individual variation. [5]
The average adult human brain weighs about 3 pounds (1300 to 1400 grams). A newborn baby's brain weighs approximately three-quarters of a pound (350 to 400 grams). On average, the human brain measures about 5.5 x 6.5 x 3.6 inches (140 x 167 x 93 mm).
The adult human brain weighs on average about 1.2–1.4 kg (2.6–3.1 lb) which is about 2% of the total body weight, [2] [3] with a volume of around 1260 cm 3 in men and 1130 cm 3 in women. [4]
Intracranial contents by volume (1,700 ml, 100%): brain = 1,400 ml (80%); blood = 150 ml (10%); cerebrospinal fluid = 150 ml (10%) (from Rengachary, S.S. and Ellenbogen, R.G., editors, Principles of Neurosurgery, Edinburgh: Elsevier Mosby, 2005)
How much does a human brain weigh? The human brain weighs about 3 lbs. (1.4 kilograms) and makes up about 2% of a human's body weight. On average, male brains are about 10% larger than...
Your brain is 2 percent of your body’s weight but uses 20 percent of your oxygen supply and gets 20 percent of your blood flow. - Large brains mean large heads, making childbirth more difficult and painful for human mothers than for other primates.
The average adult human brain weighs about 1.3 to 1.4 kilograms (2.8 to 3.1 pounds). That’s roughly the weight of a small melon or a large grapefruit. But don’t let its modest weight fool you – this organ packs a powerful punch in terms of cognitive capabilities.
The average human brain weighs 3 pounds, and is 16.7 centimeters (cm) long, 9.3 cm high, and 14 cm wide. The organ is made up of 86 billion neurons that are able to form over one trillion connections.
The average human brain weighs in at 2.7 pounds, or 1,200 grams, which is about 2 percent of our body weight [source: Bryner]. Males, though, have about a 100 g advantage after accounting for differences in total body weight [source: Schoenemann ].
The average human brain weighs about three pounds, representing about two percent of our body weight. The human heart pumps blood to the entire body, but actually pumps about 20 percent of its total blood output to the brain.
