The Brain is said to be the center of the nervous system of the human being. Brain consists of four main structural divisions or lobes. They are: frontal‚ parietal‚ occipital and temporal. All lobes carry particular function and dysfunction of any can bring the person serious troubles.I will describe four lobes of the brain‚ as well as identify how these lobes relate to psychological functions. Frontal Lobes Frontal lobes are responsible for reasoning‚ planning‚ movements‚ emotions‚ parts of speech

The shoulder is the most complex joint in the body. It is capable of moving in more than 16‚000 positions. Many of its ailments‚ including the most common ones‚ involve biomechanical mechanisms that are unique to the shoulder. The most common shoulder problem for which professional help is sought out for is shoulder impingement (Haig 1996). Shoulder impingement is primarily an overuse injury that involves a mechanical compression of the supraspinatus tendon‚ subacromial bursa‚ and the long head of

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has become a practical and effective technique in its use to study cognitive function (Jahanshahi & Rotherwell‚ 2000). It has been used to explore the motor-cortex‚ through its visible muscle twitch effect after stimulation‚ and primary visual pathways (Jahanshahi & Rotherwell; Beckers & Zeki‚ 1995). Through this exploration it was found that TMS can be used to create ‘virtual lesions’ in the brain in which cortical processing is disrupted (Jahanshahi & Rotherwell)

Diamond Withers BEH 225 Professor Bates 8/26/2014 The brain is partitioned into four main lobes‚ which include; the frontal‚ temporal‚ parietal‚ the temporal‚ and occipital lobe. The frontal lobes are concerned with management of movement‚ from stimulation of a person muscles to conceptual planning on what to carry out. The temporal lobe is the main area for premature auditory processing and a high-level visual processing area. The frontal lobes are situated on the front and the top

The ear is an organ of the body that is used for hearing and balance. It is connected to the brain by the auditory nerve and is composed of three divisions‚ the external ear‚ the middle ear‚ and the inner ear. The greater part of which is enclosed within the temporal bone. The ear is looked upon as a miniature receiver‚ amplifier and signal-processing system. The structure of the outer ear catching sound waves as they move into the external auditory canal. The sound waves then hit the eardrum

Epistaxis‚ a common condition in all age groups‚ has a bimodal distribution with 2 peaks: under the age of 10 years and in the 60s [1]. Sixty percent of people probably experience epistaxis once in their life [2]. Although epistaxis may occur secondary to surgery‚ trauma‚ hypertension‚ bleeding disorders‚ hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia‚ and antiplatelet and anticoagulation drug use‚ its etiology is unknown in 70% to 80% of cases [3]. Epistaxis is usually self-limiting but can be life threatening
