cerebral hemispheres Flashcards
what are the lobes of the cerebral hemisphere
frontal
temporal
parietal
occipital
insular
limbic
what are the main sulci
central sulcus
lateral sulcus
parieto-occipital sulcus
calcarine sulcus
significance of central sulcus
ant to it - precentral gyrus; motor
post to it - postcentral gyrus; sensory
prominent sulcus from sup margin down and forward to lat sulcus
central sulcus - divides frontal and parietal
begins inferiorly in sylvian fossa; extends post oblique
lateral sulcus
what are the 3 rami of lateral sulcus
ant horizontal
ant ascending
posterior ramus
lies deep w/in lateral sulcus
insula
begins on sup medial margin and downward and ant to meet c calcarine sulcus
parieto-occipital sulcus
starts at post end of corpus callosum and arches up and back until occipital pole
calcarine
what joins the calcarine sulcus
parieto-occipital sulcus
function of limbic
visceral and behavioral functions
