Answer to Question 1

Answer: A partial seizure has a definite focus (location) within the brain and acts just within this limited region. A generalized seizure has a widespread area of activation and can involve most of the brain.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A benign tumor is harmless and has a distinct border that separates the tumor from surrounding tissue. A malignant tumor has no distinct border; it can infiltrate surrounding tissue, making it difficult to remove from brain.
