Question

The corpus callosum

A. consists of a broad band of gray matter.
B. . is found at the base of the transverse fissure.
C. s a band of commissural fibers that connects the right cerebral hemisphere to the left cerebral hemisphere.
D. connects the frontal lobe to the occipital lobe.
E. connects the frontal lobe to the parietal lobe.

Answer 1

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

The Corpus callosum is also referred to as callosal commissure and is a wide, thick nerve tract made up of a flat bundle of commissural fibers that divides the cerebral cortex lobe into the right and the left hemispheres. It allows for communication/transfer of information between the two hemispheres. It is made up of white matter tissue

Answer 2

The corpus callosum C. is a band of commissural fibers that connects the right cerebral hemisphere to the left cerebral hemisphere

Step-by-step explanation:

The corpus callosum is the largest commissural tract in the human brain, it is not a broad brand of gray matter. It consists of about 200-300 million axons that connect the two cerebral hemispheres. So, as we can see, options D and E are incorrect because it does not connects the frontal lobe to the occipital lobe or to the parietal lobe. It is not at the base of the transverse fissure, as says option B, it is beneath the cerebral cortex in the brain.
