The are convoluted to increase the amount of surface area that is available for chemical reactions and other interactions.
Cell membranes have many convolutions because they increasee the surface area to volume ratio, thus increasing the diffusion rate.
Convolutions create a greater surface area within the same size skull
Small cells are better able to transport material more efficiently. Many convolutions increase the surface area of the cell, thus allowing for more interactions between the cell and its environment. A large cell has greater volume to its surface area and if this is too large, it will not get enough protein and oxygen.
The convolutions on the cerebrum's surface are called gyri and sulci. Gyri are the raised folds, while sulci are the grooves that separate them. These convolutions increase the surface area of the brain, allowing for more neurons to be packed within the limited space of the skull.
it make the cerebral cortex gray.
The answer is sulcus.
convolutions: a form or part that is folded or coiled; one of the convex folds of the surface of the brain.Sulci: a shallow groove, such as that between gyri on the brain surface.
The convolutions in the cerebrum increase surface area
polygyria - a brain with an excessive amount of convolutions
Large nasal cavities that are very complex have convolutions. These convolutions help to keep the moisture in when the animal exhales.
the less healthy the brain
They provide more surface arean for nerves and such.
