Do You Know?

The brain is rich in cholesterol because the nerve tissue, with which it is made up of, largely contains fat (about 60% of the total make up of the brain). This fat is due to the presence of large quantity of myelin present in the nerve tissue. Myelin is largely made up of fat and it acts as insulator around the axons of the nerve tissue.
