3- Differentiate between commissures, association fibers, projection fibers.

A

Commisures - extend between hemispheres

Projection - Link cerebral cortex to inferior brain regions and spinal cord

Association - Connect different regions of cerebral cortex within same hemisphere

4- Compare the distribution of gray matter and white matter in the cerebrum and spinal cord.

A

Cerebrum: white matter deep to gray matter, clusters of gray matter within white matter

Spinal cord: Grey matter in the spinal cord is located deep to the white matter.
