Cerebrum Regions and Fiber Tracts

Description

The cerebrum is organized into three main regions within each cerebral hemisphere. The outermost region is the cerebral cortex. It is a thin gray matter layer, about 2 to 4 millimeters thick, and it contains neuron cell bodies, dendrites, glial cells, and blood vessels.

Beneath the cortex is the ...

Transcript

Each cerebral hemisphere has three basic regions.

The outermost region is called the cerebral cortex. It is a 2 to 4 mm thick layer of gray matter composed of neuron cell bodies, dendrites, associated glia, and blood vessels.

The inner region of the cerebrum is the white matter. It is primarily composed of myelinated nerve fibers. ...
