Question
the lateral fissure separates the ______ from the rest of the cerebrum.
a frontal lobe
b cerebellum
c occipital lobe
d parietal lobe
e temporal lobe
The lateral fissure (also known as the Sylvian fissure) is a prominent anatomical feature in the brain. It is a deep groove that serves as a boundary. The frontal lobe is separated from the temporal lobe by parts of the lateral fissure, but more specifically, the lateral fissure primarily demarcates the temporal lobe from the over - lying frontal and parietal lobes. The cerebellum is not part of the cerebrum (it is a separate structure at the back of the brain). The occipital lobe is at the posterior part of the brain and is not separated by the lateral fissure in the described way. The parietal lobe is adjacent to the lateral fissure but is not the structure that is separated from the rest of the cerebrum by it in the context of this question.
