Cerebrum & cortical lobes
Understand what you see.
Supports voluntary movement, sensation, language and higher functions.
Zoom into the original labels. Practise pointing out each structure, then explain it aloud. Diagrams are teaching references; specimen appearance and slide staining vary.
How to recognise it.
- Two cerebral hemispheres are separated by the longitudinal fissure
- Central sulcus separates frontal and parietal lobes
- Lateral sulcus separates temporal lobe from frontal and parietal regions
Point them out.
Tap a number to open its reference, zoom in and locate the structure. Numbers stay the same across views. This key follows landmarks visible in the reference images.
Think first. Then reveal.
Say your answer aloud before opening the suggested response.
01How would you identify cerebrum & cortical lobes?+
Two cerebral hemispheres are separated by the longitudinal fissure. Central sulcus separates frontal and parietal lobes. Lateral sulcus separates temporal lobe from frontal and parietal regions.
02Where is the primary motor cortex?+
In the precentral gyrus of the frontal lobe, immediately anterior to the central sulcus.
