functions and all that IL does, nobody knows.
There remains much to learn about its operations.
This organ consists of several divisions.
There are a major body and several lesser por-
tons. The part of the brain most familiar to
the average person is the great mass which fills
the vault Of the skull from the forehead TO the
bump on the back of the head. This is called
the "cerebrum."
The cerebrum is divided into two sections by
a deep fissure which runs right down through the
middle of the brain, from front to back. The two
portions are called the Cerebral hemispheres."
The cerebrum isn't a smooth mass like a
moulded form of lemon jelly. On the contrary,
the surface of each hemisphere is thrown into
folds and ridges. called "convoiutions."
When it is sectioned for examination, the
structure of the brain can be studied. 1t is not
