Document Summary
As you move more forward in the brain the structures get more and more complex. Cerebral cortex tapkes up the vast majority of the human brain. If the patient gets a stroke within the brain stem , they end up passing because there is no chance of survival. Cerebral hemispheres, what they do and how they are organized. Meninges coverings of the brain basic structure of the brain. There is not enough space in our skull for a smooth brain. As the brain develops it starts off smooth but as it grows and develops, ther e isnt enough room for it to grow. If there isnt enough space, it will fold upon itself (paper). The brain is folded in among itself and forms mountains and valleys (sulci (sulcus) these are the valleys) If its really huge its referred to as a fissure. The mountains are known as gyrus or guyri.
