Quarters

Quarters (/ˈkwɔːrtərz/), from the Latin quartarius meaning a fourth part, is a term used in various medical contexts. It is often used to describe a division of a particular body part into four sections or regions.

Medical Usage

In the field of medicine, quarters can refer to the four sections of the brain, the heart, or other organs that are divided into four parts for the purpose of medical examination or treatment.

For example, the brain can be divided into four quarters: the frontal lobe, the parietal lobe, the occipital lobe, and the temporal lobe. Each of these quarters has a specific function and is associated with different aspects of cognition and behavior.

Similarly, the heart can also be divided into four quarters or chambers: the left atrium, the right atrium, the left ventricle, and the right ventricle. Each of these quarters plays a crucial role in the circulation of blood throughout the body.
