Is the line that divides the cerebrum to two hemispheres?
There is a longitudinal fissure that divides the cerebrum into two hemispheres, the left hemisphere on the anatomical left, and the right hemisphere on the anatomical right.
Why is the cerebrum divided into two hemispheres?
The vertebrate cerebrum (brain) is formed by two cerebral hemispheres that are separated by a groove, the longitudinal fissure. The brain can thus be described as being divided into left and right cerebral hemispheres….

What are the grooves of the cerebrum called?
The cerebral cortex has sulci (small grooves), fissures (larger grooves) and bulges between the grooves called gyri.
Which type of tract connects the two hemispheres of the cerebrum?
The corpus callosum is a white matter tract that connects the cerebral hemispheres, facilitating interhemispheric connectivity.
What is a shallow groove on the surface of the cortex called?
The shallow grooves on the surface of the cerebral cortex are called sulci, whereas the folds of the cortex are called gyri.
Which term refers to the shallow grooves found on each of the cerebral hemispheres?
vagus. Name the brainsteam region that is located between the pons and the diencephalon. midbrain. Which term refers to the shallow grooves found on each of the cerebral hemispheres? Callosum.
What connects the hemispheres of the cerebrum?
the corpus callosum
A fissure or groove that separates the two hemispheres is called the great longitudinal fissure. The two sides of the brain are joined at the bottom by the corpus callosum. The corpus callosum connects the two halves of the brain and delivers messages from one half of the brain to the other.
What are grooves and ridges?
The ridges are called Gyri and the grooves are called Sulci. The one and important function of these ridges and grooves is to increase the surface area of the cerebrum. Therefore, it can accommodate more number of neurons. The human brain is relatively large and very wrinkled.
What groove separates the frontal lobe from the parietal lobe?
The central sulcus runs posterior-medial to anterior-lateral and separates the frontal lobe from the parietal lobe. The parieto-occipital sulcus separates the parietal lobe from the occipital lobe.
What is the groove indicated by C?
The groove indicated by C is the __________. The central sulcus is the shallow groove that separates the frontal and parietal lobes. Axons from the primary motor cortex project from the frontal lobe to the spinal cord.
Are the shallow grooves seen on the surface of the cerebrum?
What fissure separates the cerebrum and cerebellum?
parietal and occipital lobes; the transverse fissure, which divides the cerebrum from the cerebellum; and the longitudinal fissure, which divides the cerebrum into two hemispheres.
How are the cerebral hemispheres of the cerebrum divided?
The cerebrum is divided into two major parts: the right and left cerebral hemispheres or halves at a fissure, the deep groove down the middle. The hemispheres communicate with each other through the corpus callosum which is a bundle of fibers between the hemispheres.
Is the cerebrum on the left or right side?
There is a longitudinal fissure that divides the cerebrum into two hemispheres, the left hemisphere on the anatomical left, and the right hemisphere on the anatomical right.
What are the ridges in the cerebrum called?
The folds or ridges that dominate the exterior view are called gyri (singular: gyrus). The gyri are separated from one another by indentations or grooves called sulci (singular: sulcus) when they are relatively shallow, and called fissures (singular: fissure) when they are deeper.
What are the names of the four lobes of the cerebrum?
The various sulci and fissures in the cerebrum divide each hemisphere in four lobes, the frontal lobe, the parietal lobe, the occipital lobe, and the temporal lobe. Notice that each lobe has the same name as the cranial bone that is directly over it.
