    Study Notes

    • The cerebrum is the control center of the human body and represents the highest level in the functional hierarchy of the central nervous system.
    • Knowledge of the descriptive and functional anatomy of the cerebrum is essential in medical practice.
    • The cerebrum is part of the telencephalon, the largest part of the cerebral hemispheres, and consists of the cortex and subcortical structures.
    • The cerebrum is situated in the skull, in the cerebral lodges, and is separated from the cerebellum and the brainstem by various structures.
    • The cerebrum has an ovoid shape, a width of 14cm, a length of 16cm, a height of 12cm, and weighs between 1200 to 1400g. It is greyish white in color.
    • The cerebrum is divided into two hemispheres and consists of the cortex, white matter, and various subcortical structures.
    • The lateral ventricles are fluid-filled cavities located in the cerebral hemispheres.
    • The diencephalon, a posterior part of the forebrain, connects the midbrain with the cerebral hemispheres and encloses the third ventricle.
    • The cerebrum is functionally subdivided into various lobes, each responsible for specific functions.
    • The central gray nuclei are clusters of nerve cells located within the cerebrum and play a role in motor function and sensory processing.
    • The theoretical anatomical knowledge gained in the study of the cerebrum is essential for medical practice.
