Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which feature separates the left and right hemispheres?
A
Transverse fissure
B
Longitudinal fissure
C
Central sulcus
D
Lateral sulcus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cerebrum is divided into the left and right hemispheres by a deep longitudinal fissure; the two hemispheres remain in contact and communication with one another by the corpus callosum.

Detailed explanation-2: -A fissure or groove that separates the two hemispheres is called the great longitudinal fissure. The two sides of the brain are joined at the bottom by the corpus callosum. The corpus callosum connects the two halves of the brain and delivers messages from one half of the brain to the other.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cerebral hemispheres are separated by a deep groove, the longitudinal cerebral fissure. At the base of this fissure lies a thick bundle of nerve fibres, called the corpus callosum, which provides a communication link between the hemispheres.

Detailed explanation-4: -A longitudinal fissure or division separates the brain into two distinct cerebral hemispheres, connected by the corpus callosum.

Detailed explanation-5: -The longitudinal fissure (or cerebral fissure, great longitudinal fissure, median longitudinal fissure, interhemispheric fissure) is the deep groove that separates the two cerebral hemispheres of the vertebrate brain. Lying within it is a continuation of the dura mater (one of the meninges) called the falx cerebri.
