What is a groove in the brain called?
They are called sulci and they allow for a greater surface area of the cortex of the brain which is where the majority of the neurons reside.
What is a deep sulcus?
it is the surronding of th brain
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
Which part of the brain does the optic nerve lead to?
Lateral Genicluate Nucleus
What part of the brain controls feeling taste and hunger?
it is the brain stem
Which part of the brain divides motor and sensory areas?
Central sulcus
Where is the insular cortex?
The insular cortex (abbrev. insula) is a structure of the human brain. It lies deep to the brain's lateral surface, within the lateral sulcus which separates the temporal lobe and inferior parietal cortex.
Function of insula?
Insula is the cerebal lobe deep within the lateral sulcus.
What is a groove in the brain called?
They are called sulci and they allow for a greater surface area of the cortex of the brain which is where the majority of the neurons reside.
What is the grooves on the surface of the brain?
sulcus
Deep sulcus in the brain?
Fissures.
What are shallow grooves that exist in the brain?
You have sulci ( singular is sulcus) and gyri ( singular is gyrus) in the surface of the brain. By this mechanism you have the surface area of the brain, vastly increased.
What are the furrows of the brain called?
A sulcus is a depression or fissure in the surface of the brain.
What does the Sylvian fissure do?
The Sylvian fissures are deep grooves in the cortex of the brain. They allow the Thebrain to be folded so more brain tissue can fit into the brain case. The Sylvian fissure is the deepest and most discernible of all the brains fissures. It is the lateral groove that divides the lobes of the human brain, in effect dividing the top and bottom of the brain. At the front of the brain it separates the frontal lobe from the temporal lobe, whilst at the back of the brain it separates the temporal lobe from the parietal lobe.
What is a deep sulcus?
it is the surronding of th brain
Are ears lateral to the brain?
The ears are lateral to the brain. The brain is more towards the center of the body, so it is medial to the ears.
The central sulcus of the brain lies between which two lobes ?
frontal and parietal
