Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The falx cerebelli is a sickle-shaped vertical partition that divides the left and right cerebellar hemispheres. The diaphragma sellae is a horizontal shelf-like partition that separates the supratentorial compartment (containing the cerebral hemispheres) from the infratentorial compartment (containing the cerebellum and brainstem). The tentorium cerebelli is a tent-like partition that separates the cerebellum from the occipital lobes of the cerebral hemispheres. The superior sagittal sinus is a venous sinus located along the midline of the brain within the superior margin of the falx cerebri. The falx cerebri is a vertical partition that separates the left and right cerebral hemispheres.
