The corpus callosum connects the?

The corpus callosum serves as the connection between the two halves of the brain.


Does the corpus callosum connect the two hemispheres of the brain?

corpus callosum connects nearly all the symmetrical areas of the two cerebral hemisphere; with the exception of the olfactory bulbs and the temporal poles of both sides.


Which is the largest portion of the mature brain?

The largest and most important part of the brain is the cerebrum.it controls many things like memory,speech,intelligents. However, the most important part in terms of survival has to be the Hypothalamus. It is the part of the brain which controls primal functions such as hunger/thirst, regulation of body tempurature, heartbeat, etc.


What are 5 things Andreas Vesalius discovered?

Many of Andreas Vesalius' discoveries were about disproving the views of the surgeon Galen which were the common view of human anatomy from 200 AD through the 16thC.- He disproved the belief held then that men had one fewer rib than women.- He described the four chambers of the hearts (two atria and two chambers)- He proved that the septum between the right and left atriums was not porous as previously believed.- He discovered the mitral valve in the heart.- He described and gave illustrations many parts of the brain for the first time such as the corpus callosum and the thalamus.These and many more discoveries were published in his 1543 book, De humani corporis fabrica (On the fabric of the human body) published in 1543


Quiz-newton's law of motion?

Newton's first lawLex I: Corpus omne perseverare in statu suo quiescendi vel movendi uniformiter in directum, nisi quatenus a viribus impressis cogitur statum illum mutare. Every body persists in its state of being at rest or of moving uniformly straight forward, except insofar as it is compelled to change its state by force impressed.Newton's first law is also called the law of inertia. It states that if the vector sum of all forces (that is, the net force) acting on an object is zero, then the acceleration of the object is zero and its velocity is constant. Consequently:An object that is not moving will not move until a net force acts upon it.An object that is moving will not change its velocity until a net force acts upon it.The first point needs no comment, but the second seems to violate everyday experience. For example, a hockey puck sliding along ice does not move forever; rather, it slows and eventually comes to a stop. According to Newton's first law, the puck comes to a stop because of a net external force applied in the direction opposite to its motion. This net external force is due to a frictional force between the puck and the ice, as well as a frictional force between the puck and the air. If the ice were frictionless and the puck were traveling in a vacuum, the net external force on the puck would be zero and it would travel with constant velocity so long as its path were unobstructed.Implicit in the discussion of Newton's first law is the concept of an inertial reference frame, which for the purposes of Newtonian mechanics is defined to be a reference frame in which Newton's first law holds true.There is a class of frames of reference (called inertial frames) relative to which the motion of a particle not subject to forces is a straight line.Newton placed the law of inertia first to establish frames of reference for which the other laws are applicable. To understand why the laws are restricted to inertial frames, consider a ball at rest inside an airplane on a runway. From the perspective of an observer within the airplane (that is, from the airplane's frame of reference) the ball will appear to move backward as the plane accelerates forward. This motion appears to contradict Newton's second law (F = ma), since, from the point of view of the passengers, there appears to be no force acting on the ball that would cause it to move. However, Newton's first law does not apply: the stationary ball does not remain stationary in the absence of external force. Thus the reference frame of the airplane is not inertial, and Newton's second law does not hold in the form F = maSource: Wikipediahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_laws_of_motion#Newton.27s_third_law:_law_of_reciprocal_actions
