What are sulci and gyri?
Simply, the furrows on the surface of the brain between the gyri.
What are the five brain lobes?
There are actually four brain lobes. They are the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and occipital lobe. The other one, which some people call the fifth lobe but it acutally isn't, is the cerebellum. All of these five parts are put together by the cerebrum. The cerebrum is the outer layer of the brain. The cerebrum is seperated into two parts. The gyri and the sulci. The gyri is the raised part around all of the lines. The sulci is the lines around the raised part. Hope that helped (:
Does the cerebellum exhibit fold called gyri separated by grooves called sulci?
yes
Where in a human body can you find a Sulcus and a Gyrus?
The brain. Sulci are the valleys, gyri are the hills when looking at the surface anatomy
The folds in the brain that store memories are called the?
Gyri are the folds in the brain that store memories. These are located on the cerebral cortex, along with the sulci.
Which region of the brain contains gyri and sulci?
The cerebrum
The surface of the cerebrum is folded into elevations that resemble speed bumps are called what?
convolutions or gyri
What increases the surface of the cerebrum?
The surface of the brain has wrinkles. The sulci are the inner folds of the surface of the cerebrum, and the gyri are the "bumps" of the surface. These increase the surface area of the cerebrum.

What is the difference between gyri and sulci?
Parts of the Brain: Cerebrum-largest part of brain, 7/8 total mass of the brain. * 2 cerebral hemispheres: # ridges- gyri # grooves- sulci *Gyrus(gyri)-is a ridge on the cerebral cortex. Folds on the brain material. Many ridgescalled convolutions, or gyri, or gyrus, separated by grooves, mark the cerebrum's surface. *Sulcus(sulci)-shallow grooves on the brain. Generally, a shallow to somewhat deep groove is called a sulcus, or sulci, and a very deep groove is called a fissure.
What are sulci and gyri?
Simply, the furrows on the surface of the brain between the gyri.
Why is the human brain squiggly?
The "squiggly" appearance of the brain refers to the sulci and gyri the comprise the cerebral cortex. The sulci are the valleys, or sunken portions, and the gyri are the raised portions. The "squiggly" convolutions of the cerebrum (brain) allow for more surface area. Thus, the contours of the brain help increase the overall volume of the brain inside its limited space, the cranium.

It is also 90% water.
What are those curly things inside the brain?
These are the gyri (ridges or bumps) and sulci (furrows between the ridges). Certain patterns of gyri and sulci are common to all humans and are associated with certain functions. Many animals, especially those with large brains have gyri and sulci also.

What are the shallow folds of the cerebral cortex called?
The Sulcus is a shallow furrow on the surface of the brain separating convolutions.
What are the creases in the brain called?
If we didn't have wrinkles, our brains would be the size of a pillowcase. As brains grow, they fold in on themselves. It's said as you learn, your brain gets more wrinkles. I don't know if it's true, though.
Definition of Brain fissures?
The hills in the surface of the brain are called gyri (singular: gyrus), and the valleys are called sulci (singular: sulcus). Very deep sulci are called fissures. When locations are described in the brain, major sulci and gyri are often used as reference points, like familiar landmarks.Source: Sparknotes
