Cerebrum Flashcards
Lower border of falx cerebrum
Connects 2 cerebral hemispheres
Corpus callosum
Largest part of the brain
Cerebral hemispheres
Complete separation of cerebral hemispheres in
Occipital and frontal regions
Separates the cerebrum from cerebellum
Tentorium cerebelli
Separates cerebrum into various lobes
Sulci/ sulcus
Lobes of cerebral hemispheres
Frontal
Temporal
Parietal
Occipital
Deep within lateral sulcus
Insular
Synthetic lobe on middle of hemisphere consisting of marginal portions of f,p,t,o lobes, visceral and behavioral functions
Limbic
Main sulci
Central sulci (central sulcus of rolando)
Lateral sulcis (sylvian fissure)
Parieto-occipital sulcus
Calcarine sulcus
Sulcus that separates the frontal from parietal lobe
Central sulcus of rolando
Posterior to rolando
Primary somatosensory cortex that receives input from contralateral body part
Lies between two parallel gyri
Rolando
Separates frontal, parietal and temporal lobes
Lateral fissure (sylvian fissure)
Calcarine sulcus joins at an acute angle halfway its length
Parieto-occipital sulcus
