    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_median_fissure_of...

    The anterior median fissure of the spinal cord is a deep midline groove of the anterior spinal cord. [1]: 486 It divides the white matter of the anterior spinal cord nearly in two. [1]: 487 The spinal pia mater extends into the fissure to line the surfaces of the spinal cord. [1]: 453

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulcus_(morphology)

    In biological morphology and anatomy, a sulcus (pl.: sulci) is a furrow or fissure (Latin fissura, pl.: fissurae). It may be a groove, natural division, deep furrow, elongated cleft, or tear in the surface of a limb or an organ, most notably on the surface of the brain , but also in the lungs , certain muscles (including the heart ), as well as ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_median_sulcus_of...

    The posterior median sulcus is the posterior end of the posterior median septum of neuroglia of the spinal cord. The septum varies in depth from 4 to 6 mm, but diminishes considerably in the lower part of the spinal cord.

    Sectional organization of spinal cord. The spinal cord is the main pathway for information connecting the brain and peripheral nervous system. [3] [4] Much shorter than its protecting spinal column, the human spinal cord originates in the brainstem, passes through the foramen magnum, and continues through to the conus medullaris near the second lumbar vertebra before terminating in a fibrous ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterolateral_sulcus_of...

    The Anterolateral sulcus of spinal cord is a landmark on the anterior side of the spinal cord. It denotes the location at which the ventral fibers leave the spinal cord. The anterolateral sulcus is less visible than the posterolateral sulcus. [1]

  8. Posterolateral sulcus of spinal cord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterolateral_sulcus_of...

    On either side of the posterior median sulcus of the spinal cord, and at a short distance from it, the posterior nerve roots are attached along a vertical furrow named the posterolateral sulcus. The portion of the medulla spinalis which lies between this and the posterior median sulcus is named the posterior funiculus .

  9. Sulcus (neuroanatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulcus_(neuroanatomy)

    In neuroanatomy, a sulcus (Latin: "furrow"; pl.: sulci) is a shallow depression or groove in the cerebral cortex. One or more sulci surround a gyrus (pl. gyri), a ridge on the surface of the cortex, creating the characteristic folded appearance of the brain in humans and most other mammals. The larger sulci are also called fissures.
