What are the names of the strokes on a two stroke engine?
A two-stroke engine is an internal combustion engine that completes the process cycle in one revolution of the crankshaft (an up stroke and a down stroke of the piston, compared to twice that number for a four-stroke engine). This is accomplished by using the beginning of the compression stroke and the end of the combustion stroke to perform simultaneously the intake and exhaust (or scavenging) functions. In this way, two-stroke engines often provide strikingly high specific power, at least in a narrow range of rotational speeds. The functions of some or all of the valves required by a four-stroke engine are usually served in a two-stroke engine by ports that are opened and closed by the motion of the pistons, greatly reducing the number of moving parts.
What is the name of the two stroke engine cycle?
I think you are looking for a detailed engineering answer. Common usage is that a two stroke engines is called a two stroke engine. By the way my experience says that two stroke engines only have two strokes and the second one is fatal.
What cc bikes could a 13yr old have?
Depends on the kids experience with bikes. And I assume your talking a dirt bike. If he has no experience I would say a 100-125cc 4 stroke. Personally I would get a 4 stroke bike such as the newer Honda models.

What is damage to the brain called in a medical context?
A stroke. A stroke is the rapidly developing loss of brain functions due to a disturbance in the blood vessels supplying blood to the brain. This can happen because of ischemia (lack of blood supply), or hemorrhage.In the past, stroke was referred to as cerebrovascular accident or CVA, but the term "stroke" is now preferred.
What group in society is more likely to get a stroke?

Additionally, certain ethnic groups such as African Americans, Hispanics, and Asian Americans may have a higher risk of stroke.
Can dehydration cause stroke like symptoms?
Yes, it can. That's why you have to eat healthy, exercise, and stay fit. Always make sure you're drinking plenty of water or you could experience stroke like symptoms.
Mild Stroke Symptoms?
Many individuals suffer strokes every year. A stroke occurs when there is insufficient blood flow to the brain. This can happen when there is a blockage in the blood vessels and blood flow is either less than normal or completely stops. In instances where a person suffers a major stroke, they will experience at least partial paralysis. When an individual suffers from a minor stroke, there is generally no permanent damage done, but there are certain symptoms they will experience. When a person has a mild stroke, one of the most common symptoms is a lack of senses. This means that they may experience the inability to speak or see, and their sense of smell may even be diminished or can disappear for some time. Exactly which of the senses are affected depends on which part of the brain was affected by the stroke. Mild stroke symptoms also include dizziness and a feeling of disorientation. For instance, if a person was standing on line at a store and suddenly experienced their stroke, they may not understand where they are and why they are there after they regain their senses. Weakness in the limbs, face and hands is a very common symptom of a mild stroke as well. There may also be a tingling sensation present in these affected body parts. It is also not uncommon to experience a temporary loss of vision or distorted vision, such as double vision. This typically occurs when the part of the brain that controls the functioning of the eyes is affected by the stroke and there is a lack of sufficient blood flow therein. A person may also experience a complete blackout of their mind when they have a mild stroke. Unfortunately, you could be engaged in conversation with the stricken individual and never even realize they are experiencing a stroke as they could simply appear very still and no longer paying attention to you. However, when they snap back to reality, so to speak, they may not understand what you are saying.
