1. Where does a subdural hematoma form?

   A subdural hematoma forms when there is hemorrhage into the potential space between the dura and the arachnoid membranes.

2. What is (qSOFA) ?

   A rapid scoring system that can be used to identify patients who have an infection and may be at risk of dying from sepsis. The qSOFA score is easy to calculate because it only has three components: * Respiratory rate (≥22 breaths/min) * Altered mentation (Glasgow Coma Scale score <15) * Systolic blood pressure (≤100 mm Hg). The score ranges from 0 to 3 points. One point is assigned for each component. A score of 2 or more is associated with poor outcomes due to sepsis.

3. Cerebe llum

   The cerebellum is located at the lower back part of the brain. This part of the brain controls equilibrium and balance and allows humans to move correctly. It coordinates the muscles and joins so they can work together.

4. Occipital Lobe

   Controls vision. It is located at the very back part of the brain and affects how humans judge everything visual.

5. Temporal Lobe

   Talking Lobe. Controls a very important part of a person: memories. In addition, this specific part of the brain controls language functions, sexual functions and personality. It also has an effect on how the person perceives verbal and non-verbal input.

6. Frontal Lobe

   The frontal lobe is located directly at the forehead. This part of the brain controls judgments, impulses, motor functions, language, problem-solving and how people react to situations. The frontal lobe is separated into two sections, the left and the right, each witch controls different characteristics. When injury occurs to this part of the brain or it simply does not function properly, a person may have difficulty doing much of anything.

7. Parietal lobe

   Located at the upper back portion of the head and is behind the frontal lobe. This part of the brain controls much of how a person processes sensation and processes information.

8. Brain stem

   Located at the very base of the brain and is responsible for being a conduit for the information that passes from body to brain and vice versa. This area of the brain controls breathing, speech, alertness and also gives instruction to the heart to beat.

9. Medulla

   The base of the brainstem; controls heartbeat and breathing
