In the present study, 100 human, dry adult sterna, 45 male and 55 female, from various medical colleges of Saurashtra region of Gujarat were measured for length of manubrium, length of mesosternum and combined length of manubrium and mesosternum. The data was statistically analysed for mean, standard deviation and p value. “The Rule of 136” given by Ashley (1956) was applied to determine the sex of sterna and to determine the number of male and female sterna obeying the rule. Statistically significant difference in mean values of length of manubrium, length of mesosternum and combined length of both sexes was observed. “Rule of 136” determined 34 male and 66 female sterna, while 71.11% (32) of male sterna and 96.34% (53) of female sterna obeyed the rule. It concluded that of all the three parameters measured, combined length of manubrium and mesosternum was the best discriminating parameter of sex and Rule of 136 was helpful in determination of sex
The cerebral hemisphere consists of five lobes: frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, and limbic lobe. Each cerebral hemisphere shows superomedial, inferior, and medial surfaces separated by superomedial, inferomedial, and inferolateral borders. The superolateral surface shows the central sulcus that separates the pre-central and post-central gyri. The parietal lobe is divided by the interparietal sulcus into supra-parietal and infra-parietal lobes. The occipital lobe contains the primary visual area surrounded by peristriate and parastriate areas. The temporal lobe is divided into superior, middle, and inferior temporal gyri. The superior surface of the superior temporal gyrus is occupied by the primary and secondary speech areas. The medial surface shows C-shaped corpus callosum, cingulate gyrus, medial frontal gyrus, cuneus, precuneus, cingulate sulcus and paracentral lobule. The orbital part of the inferior surface shows H-shaped orbital sulcus, olfactory sulcus, and olfactory gyrus. Broca's motor speech area is present in the dominant hemisphere at the inferior frontal gyrus.Wernicke's speech area is present in supramarginal and angular gyri. The cerebral hemisphere is mainly supplied by anterior, middle, and posterior cerebral arteries.Understanding the anatomy of the cerebral cortex is critical to recognize the site of lesion in cerebral ischemia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
