a.
To state: The common signs and symptoms of a frontal lobe tumor.
Concept introduction: Brain is a major organ in a central nervous system (CNS) that controls nearly all functions of the body. Brain tumors are the abnormal growth of cells in the brain which cause the localized dysfunction of brain depending on the location of tumor growth. Brain tumors primarily occur as benign that may spread (metastasized) to the other parts of the body.
b.
To predict: The initial and progressive signs of a tumor growing in the left parietal lobe.
Concept introduction: Brain is a major organ in a central nervous system (CNS) that controls nearly all the functions of the body. Brain tumors are the abnormal growth of cells in the brain which cause the localized dysfunction of brain depending on the location of growth. Brain tumors primarily occur as benign that may spread (metastasized) to the other parts of the body.
c.
To compare: The effects of similar-sized tumors in the occipital lobe and the brain stem.
