through the body of this young lady named Lola. In this journey we will enter her body through the femoral vein and travel all the way to her lung. Alert! Alert! An alert just came and we are in for a surprise. Bacteria have invaded Lola’s lower lobe of her right lung and we shall report the invasion and document all we see. Let’s proceed. We are being injected into the femoral vein close to the groin area. The femoral vein runs parallel with the femoral artery through the upper thigh and pelvic
Patho-physiologists define addiction as a disease, thus affording to the chemical imbalance between the limbic and frontal lobes of the brain (Litowitz 2012). Psychologists have taken a broader approach, linking neuroscience with a binomial relationship to human behaviour in order to diagnose and challenge whether addiction is mind over matter, or indeed a neurological disorder (Burton, Westen, Kowalski, 2012). The following essay will firstly discuss three theories of psychology and how they each
Four lobes are the part of the brain are that is covered. These lobes have extremely important participating roles in the human system, and without them the body would be unable to do mundane tasks like talking or memorization (Huffman, 2005, p.68). These help to control more functions and sending various messages to parts of the body. Continually, the two hemispheres of the brain have four specific sections which control certain aspects of the brain: frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and
the different lobes of the cerebrum through various activities that correspond to the function of each lobe. There are five cerebral lobes: the frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, and insula. When children walk into the Cranial Carnival, the different lobes and their function will be labeled. At the frontal lobe, children will have the opportunity to complete different logic games such as word puzzles, card games, origami, etc. We decided to include logic puzzles in the frontal lobe area because
is separated into four distinct regions or lobes. These regions are called the frontal lobe, the occipital lobe, the temporal lobe, and the parietal lobe. The frontal lobe is located directly behind the forehead and is the brain region that controls higher level thinking such as memory, planning, and judgment. The frontal lobe also contains motor cortex which allows voluntary movements. Another vital brain region is the occipital lobe. The occipital lobe can be found in the back of the brain. Its
holds about fifty percent of the neurons in the brain. If the cerebellum becomes damage, individuals will become unbalanced and unable to complete complex task without shaking. They will also have development problems with speech. Frontal lobe - The frontal lobe is responsible for higher executive functions such as planning,
How do the left and right brain hemispheres differ, and what are the different functions of the lobes of the cerebral cortex? The left hemisphere is dominant with regard to language and logical processing, while the right hemisphere handles spatial perception.The cerebral cortex is the most important part of our brain it is divided into two hemispheres- the left and right hemispheres. The left hemisphere controls the right side of our body and the right hemisphere controls the left side. The two
“I not only use the brains that I have, but all that I can borrow.”, Woodrow Wilson had once said. Although we cannot borrow other people’s brains, our own brains can do many things. The brain is the very thing that helps people survive. Do you ever recall telling your heart to keep beating? I don’t remember doing that before. It is your brain that does that for you. “Your brain is the boss of you.” (Your Brain and Nervous System). How does the brain work? “The brain has many parts that work together
The parietal lobe is located near the center of the brain. It is behind the frontal lobe, in front of the occipital lobe, and above the temporal lobe.(Parietal lobe. (n.d.). Retrieved January 05, 2017, from http://www.healthline.com/human-body-maps/parietal-lobe) It contains an area known as primary sensory. It assists in processing visual images and impulses from the skin. Over the human’s lifetime the brain shrinks so therefore the parietal lobe shrinks.(Peters, R. (2006, February). Ageing and
several parts to the cortex dedicated to a certain task, these parts of the cortex are called lobes. One of the important lobes in the human brain cortex is the parietal lobes. The parietal lobes are located on the top of a regular human brain which makes it the center of the cortex. Moreover, according to ciccarelli and white's textbook (2010), the somato-sensory cortex, which is located in the parietal lobes, is responsible for recognizing the information ghathered through body receptors in order
