corpus callosum
Cerebral hemispheres (left and right)
The cerebral cortex is composed of two hemispheres: the left hemisphere and the right hemisphere. Each hemisphere controls the opposite side of the body and is responsible for different functions. The two hemispheres communicate with each other through a structure called the corpus callosum.
There is one major fissure that divides the cerebral hemispheres, called the longitudinal fissure. It separates the left and right hemispheres of the brain.
The dural fold that projects into the longitudinal fissure between cerebral hemispheres is called the FALX CEREBRI.
The medial longitudinal fissure.
The cerebral hemispheres are the largest part of the human brain and are responsible for higher brain functions such as thinking, perceiving, planning, and interpreting sensory information. The left hemisphere is often associated with language and logic, while the right hemisphere is more involved in creativity and spatial awareness. The two hemispheres are connected by a bundle of nerve fibers called the corpus callosum, allowing them to communicate and work together.
The upper part of the brain is called the cerebrum and consists of two cerebral hemispheres connected by the corpus callosum. The cerebral hemispheres are responsible for higher brain functions such as thinking, problem-solving, and voluntary movements.
corpus callosum
False. The deep grooves within the cerebral hemispheres are known as sulci, while the raised folds are called gyri.
The deep groove separating the two cerebral hemispheres is called the longitudinal fissure. It is also known as the interhemispheric fissure and contains a thick band of nerve fibers called the corpus callosum, which facilitates communication between the two hemispheres of the brain.
