Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The two major categories of seizures are generalized and partial. Generalized seizures involve the entire brain, while partial seizures affect only a specific area of the brain. The other answer choices either incorrectly categorize seizures (such as petit mal and grand mal, which are types of generalized seizures) or refer to different classifications of seizures not related to the two major categories.
