Cerebrum anatomy Flashcards
Folds of the cerebrum
Gyrus (pl. gyri)
Grooves of the cerebrum
Sulcus (pl. sulci)
Large deep sulcus
Fissure
Which groove divides the cerebrum into the right and left hemispheres?
Median longitudinal fissure
Groove that separates the frontal and parietal lobes
Central sulcus (fissure of Rolando)
Groove that separates the parieto-frontal and temporal lobes
Sylvian fissure (lateral fissure)
Groove that separates the occipital and parietal lobes
Parieto-occipital sulcus
Groove between superior frontal gyrus and middle frontal gyrus
Superior frontal sulcus
Groove between middle frontal gyrus and inferior frontal gyrus
Inferior frontal sulcus
Borders of the precentral gyrus
Central sulcus, posteriorly
Precentral sulcus, anteriorly
Fold immediately posterior the central sulcus
Post-central gyrus
Folds separated by the central sulcus
Precentral gyrus and post-central gyrus
Folds separated by inferior frontal sulcus
Middle frontal gyrus and inferior frontal gyrus
Folds separated by superior frontal sulcus
Superior frontal gyrus and inferior frontal gyrus
Borders of the post-central gyrus
Central sulcus, anteriorly
Post-central sulcus, posteriorly
Groove that separates superior and inferior parietal lobule
Intraparietal sulcus
Parts of the inferior parietal lobule
Angular gyrus, supramarginal gyrus
Folds separated by the intraparietal sulcus
Superior parietal lobule, inferior parietal lobule
Areas separated by central sulcus
Frontal and parietal lobes
