What are the 4 parts of cerebral cortex?
The brain is composed of four parts: the Cerebrum, the Cerebellum, the Brain Stem, and the Diencephalon. The Cerebrum is divided into two hemispheres (left, right) and four lobes: temporal, parietal, occipital, and frontal. The Brain stem is composed of the Medulla Oblongata, the Pons, and the Midbrain. The Diencephalon contains the Thalamus, Hypothalamus, and Epithalamus.
What difference does it make if the sound is increased to an ear?
Because of your ear lobe you can hear the sound of low amplitude.
What does low density area in subcortical white matter of left posterior parietal lobe mean?
ms
What is the function of the occipital region?
The occipital cortex is also known as the striate (striped) or visual cortex. It is involved in low level processing such as detecting edges, colors, orientation, and motion. It is found at the back of the brain and has projections to other regions in the brain, particularly the parietal and temporal cortices.
What part of the brain deals with music art and poetry?
I only know that the left side of the brain contributes to all of the logic and thinking of stuff like math, and science, and all sorts of that stuff, while the right side is the side that is creative, with imagination and the arts and stuff like that...oh and language. This includes music probably.
What does a 5 mm low attenuation lesion in the left hepatic lobe mean?
I have seen this alot on patient reports. A low attenuation lesion on a certain area of your liver just basically means there is something there it could be a scar or shadow. The low attenuation is a measurement. How strong it is. Low attenuation is good and usually not a concern. If it showed high than it is cause for concern. Repeat your test in 4-6 months just to make sure it does not change.

What is Low attenuation lesion in the left kidney?
what does low attenuation area mean in left kidney
What are low attenuation exophytic lesions?
It means to grow outwardly.
What are patchy areas of low attenuation in the brainstem mean?
Since 'attenuation' is used, I assume they're talking about CT. Low attenuation means there's not as much tissue in that area blocking the x rays of the CT scanner, which could indicate atrophy in that region I believe. Yes a CT scan was performed on my son's head. It said the patchy attenuation was located in the pons area of the brain stem. How serious is this and how should he follow up?
A ct scan was performed on my son's head the patchy attenuation was in the pons area of the brainstem how serious is this and how should he follow up please?
Low attenuation can mean different things. Was it a CT scan or MRI, do you know if they used contrast. An area with low attenuation needs to be re-evaluated to see what it is. Why did he have the scan? Did he have a trauma/injury? Was he having headaches or other symptoms? What else did the doctors tell you?
What is frontal depression?
It is a low pressure area, formed at the boundry between two different air-masses.They occur in middle or high latitudes. the formation of frontal depression is known as frontogenesis.
What are three causes of non-convective low-level wind shear?
Frontal passage, low-level temperature inversion and orographic effect.
What is the difference between first order low pass filter and second order low pass filter?
in second order filter attenuation to the frequencies in stop band is higher then first order filters.

How are hurricanes related to frontal systems?
They aren't. Hurricanes are tropical systems that develop where fronts do not have as much influence as in temperate climates. A hurricane that moves into temperate latitudes can change into a frontal low, but this is not an inherent characteristic of hurricanes.
