Postcentral gyrus, or the parietal lobe

[Edit: The postcentral gyrus is posterior to the central sulcus, not anterior. The primary motor cortex is located directly anterior to the central sulcus.]

Why would there be no deficit in sensory function after a left frontal bleed?

You have motor area in front of the central sulcus. You have sensory area behind the central sulcus. So in this type of bleeding the sensory area is not affected.

What is a groove in the brain called?

A groove in the brain is called a sulcus. Sulci are the small grooves or furrows between the folds of the brain, known as gyri, and help to increase the surface area of the brain for more neurons to reside.


The motor cortex sits just posterior of the central fissure in the frontal lobes whereas the somatosensory cortex sits next to the central fissure in the parietal lobes of the cerebral cortex?

That's correct. The motor cortex, primarily responsible for planning and executing voluntary movements, is located just posterior to the central fissure in the frontal lobes. On the other hand, the somatosensory cortex, dealing with processing sensory information from the body, is situated near the central fissure in the parietal lobes of the cerebral cortex.


The primary somatosensory area and primary motor area are separated by?

The primary somatosensory area and primary motor area in the brain are separated by the central sulcus, also known as the Rolandic fissure. This anatomical landmark divides the frontal lobe (where the primary motor area is located) from the parietal lobe (where the primary somatosensory area is located).


What separates the lateral ventricles?

Anterior and Posterior Interventricular Sulcus. Sulcus meaning "groove" .


Where is the lcx artery?

It follows the left part of the coronary sulcus, running first to the left and then to the right, reaching nearly as far as the posterior longitudinal sulcus.


What part of the spinal cord contails shallow groove on dorsal side?

What artery runs along the coronary sulcus?

The coronary sinus runs in the posterior coronary sulcus. In the anterior coronary sulci the stems of the coronary artery run. The circumflex branch of the left and the extension of the right coronary artery that becomes the posterior descending artery run around the coronary sulcus from front to back


what fissure separates the frontal lobes from the parietal?

At the midpoint it is the sagitall suture.
