Brain's Oxygen Usage

Brain's Oxygen Usage

In the average adult human, the brain represents about 2% of the body weight.

Remarkably, despite its relatively small size, the brain accounts for about 20% of the oxygen and, hence, calories consumed by the body. This high rate of metabolism is remarkably constant despite the widely varying mental and motoric activity.
