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 is the difference between a gyrus and sulcus?
a sulcus is a depression or a groove found on the surface of an organ or tissue,as on the surface of the brain separating adjacent convultion. While a gyrus is one of the prominent rounded elevations between the sulci or grooves on the surface of the hemispheres of the brain.

The outer surface of the cerebrum is covered with a series of elevated ridges called gyri and grooves or shallow depressions called sulci. The deepest sulci are called fissures. The cerebrum is divided into the right and left hemispheres.
