What two structures make up the forebrain?

The forebrain is composed of the cerebrum and the diencephalon. The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain and is responsible for higher brain functions such as thinking, memory, and voluntary movements. The diencephalon includes structures like the thalamus and hypothalamus, which play important roles in processing sensory information and regulating basic functions like thirst, hunger, and body temperature.

What is the upper part of the brain consisting of two cerebral hemispheres and the structures that connect them?

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.


What are the 3 parts of your brain called?

Forebrain, Midbrain, Hindbrain.The above terms relate to the developing vertebrate brain, but from a purely visual perspective, you could also say that the three parts of the brain are the Cerebrum, Cerebellum, and Brainstem, where the cerebrum is the 'main' wrinkled top part of the brain (divided into two hemispheres), and the cerebellum is the two somewhat flattened parts which hang under the rear of the brain, and the brainstem is the part that comes from the spinal cord and is the 'base' of the brain.It's true, however, that the Forebrain contains other structures besides the Cerebrum, such as the thalamus, hypothalamus, epithalamus, subthalamus, amygdala, and hippocampus, and the cerebellum and brainstem are both considered to be parts of the hindbrain.


How many lobes is the cerebrum divided into?

The cerebrum is divided into two hemispheres, each of which is further divided into four lobes: frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital. So, in total, the cerebrum is divided into eight lobes.

What is Line between cerebrum and cerebellum is called?

The line between the cerebrum and cerebellum is called the tentorium cerebelli. It is a tough, fibrous structure that separates the supratentorial region (containing the cerebrum) from the infratentorial region (containing the cerebellum).

lower part of the brain at the top of the neck where the two sides of the skull meet.


What are the 3 parts of the human brain?

One answer is: Cerebrum, Cerebellum, Brainstem.Another is: Forebrain, Midbrain, Hindbrain. This answer is more technically correct, while the first is more what you could see if looking at a naked brain from the outside.The Cerebrum is the wrinkled 'top', 'main' part of the brain, divided in the middle into two hemispheres;the Cerebellum is the two somewhat flattened parts which hang under the back of the cerebrum;the Brainstem is the continuation of the spinal cord, which enters the 'middle' of the bottom of the brain.The Forebrain is made up of the cerebrum, the thalamus, the hypothalamus, the epithalamus, the subthalamus, the amygdala, the basal ganglia, the pineal gland and the hippocampus.The Midbrain is a small structure located between the forebrain and the hindbrain, and sits atop the brainstem.The Hindbrain is made up of the pons, the cerebellum, and the medulla oblongata


What are the two main parts of the midbrain?

cerebral aqueduct which traversing the midbrain divides it into two main parts:Tectum (smaller dorsal part), which consists of = 2 superior and 2 inferior colliculi2 cerebral peduncles (larger ventral part), which consist of = crus cerebri + substantia nigra + tegmentum


What is the size of the thalamus?

There are actually two thalami, on either side of the third ventricle, between the brain stem and the cerebrum. As for size, I have never done any measurements, but having seen in dissection, I would say they are about two inches long. (They are roughly egg-shaped, so the 2 inches would be the longer diameter)


What are two halves of the cerebrum?

What are the two hemispheres of the cerebrum separated by?

The two hemispheres of the cerebrum are separated by a structure called the corpus callosum. This is a thick band of nerve fibers that allows communication and coordination between the two hemispheres of the brain.
