The organ that protects the brain is the skull, specifically the bony part called the cranium, which encases the brain and is further protected by layers of tissue (meninges) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Skull/Cranium: The hard, bony structure forming the head, with the cranium being the part that directly houses the brain.
Meninges: Three protective layers of tissue (dura mater, arachnoid membrane, pia mater) that surround the brain and spinal cord.
Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF): A liquid that cushions the brain within the skull, providing shock absorption.
