Answer:

Because you are an old man. An elderly person's cells have difficulty regenerating compared to an adolescent's cells, such as Austin.

Explanation:

According to research, the elderly have great difficulties in bone fracture regeneration. This is because the cells of the elderly are aged and have failed regeneration of fractures, making healing of a broken bone very slow and can cause various problems for the elderly. On the other hand, adolescent cells have a high regenerative capacity promoting rapid healing of a fractured bone. For this reason, we can say that Thomas's 76-year-old injury is more serious than his 17-year-old grandson's injury.

Integration of visual input and monitoring the body’s orientation in space are functions of the __________ lobe.
9966 [12]

Answer 1: The correct answer is the occipital lobe.


The occipital lobe refers to one of the four major lobes in the human brain. It is located in the rear portion of the brain (refer to the attached image). The occipital lobe is responsible for processing and making sense of the stimuli we receive/ see with our eyes. This lobe helps us make sense of what we see, and where (distance, depth, etc.) we see something.


Answer 2: The correct answer is left hemisphere . . . hemisphere


In the earlier days of studying the human brain, scientists believed that the left hemisphere was the dominant hemisphere of the brain, compared to the right hemisphere. It is also worth nothing that the left hemisphere is associated with logic, language and numerical ability, while the right hemisphere is associated with creativity, artistic ability and imagination. However, more recently, scientists consider both brain hemispheres as equally dominant in day-to-day functions. It is not true that the left brain is more dominant, since both hemispheres perform important functions.
