The lobes of the brain. The cerebral cortex maybe be broken up into four lobes. Each lobe is named after the bones of the skull that cover them. In the very front is the frontal lobe‚ and behind that is the parietal lobe. At the very back of the brain we find the occipital lobe. And curving around each side of the brain we find the temporal lobe. Because the brain is made of two hemispheres there are pairs of each lobe. Frontal lobe: The most forward of the four lobes of the cerebral cortex

In the novels‚ “The Nose”‚ and The Metamorphosis Gogol‚ and Kafka demonstrates how identity does not depend on what society depicts you to be‚ it’s whatever you (as a sole proprietor of your life) decide what and who you are‚ they both portray this idea by transforming their protagonists into what society sought them to be‚ to see how they would react. In response to this idealistic concept the authors use their protagonists to convey this “Hidden” concept by putting them through a situation in which

All adult humans lungs are about the same size‚ but larger than a kid’s lungs because the adult body is bigger than a kid. The normal lungs have an average weight of 234g (s+/-39). The average pair of human lungs can hold about 5 litres of air. Approximately‚ human breath 24480 times in a day. The lungs are in the front of the chest and are locate beside the heart but heart is in the middle of two lungs. The lungs

The Parietal Lobe The brain is a fascinating yet complicated structure. Without it our involuntary functions while we sleep and our natural reflexes would vanish. Every part of our nervous system works together‚ it becomes one whole. One fundamental part of our brain‚ that is probably one of the most important to the disabled‚ is the Parietal Lobe which receives impulses that control one of our most important senses; touch. The Parietal Lobe is located near the center of the brain‚ behind the frontal

Lung cancer‚ however‚ has different types and stages‚ but for this paper we are going to talk about Stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In the article titled “Stage IIIA Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer” it was stated that‚ “Stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a single cancer mass that is not invading any adjacent organs‚ but has spread to nearby lymph nodes

downward and this lead to increases the space in your chest cavity which causes your lungs to expand. The intercostal muscles that are found between your ribs helps with enlarge the chest cavity as they contract which pulls your rib cage both upward and outward as you inhale. The expandation of your lungs causes the air to be breathed in through your nose or mouth. The air goes down your windpipe and into lungs. Through your bronchial tubes it helps the air to reach and enter the alveoli or air sacs

Lung Capacity in this lab‚ I learned about lung capacity and CO2 production. Lung capacity simply means the maximum amount of air you can take into your lungs. Lung capacity and CO2 production closely relate to the respiratory system. The respiratory system is the system in which oxygen goes into your body and carbon dioxide comes out; In short it’s breathing. The structures involved in the respiratory system are mouth/nose‚ mucus/cilia‚ pharynx‚ larynx‚ bronchi‚ bronchioles‚ alveoli‚ pleura‚ and

If the Occipital Lobes were destroyed or if we didn’t have that specific one lobe will we be able to do everyday matter? What will be the result? How can the brain tell what colors each and everything is if it is inside the skull? I chose and found this project interesting because there are a lot of functions in the brain and how everything processes. It is more interesting how we see things with our eyes‚ but actually comes from the brain. Most people wonder how the brain sees everything since

THE LUNGS The left and right lungs (Figure 23-7a‚ b) are situated in the left and right pleural cavities. Each lung is a blunt cone‚ with the tip‚ or apex‚ pointing superiorly. The apex on each side extends into the base of the neck superior to the first rib. The broad concave inferior portion‚ or base‚ of each lung rests on the superior surface of the diaphragm. Lobes and Surfaces of the Lungs The lungs have distinct lobes separated by deep fissures (Figures 23-7a‚b). The right lung has
