Definition
A narrow opening, crack, or cleft in anatomy, geology, or other sciences; used especially in anatomical terminology for grooves or divisions in organs.
Etymology
Latin noun meaning 'a cleft or fissure,' from 'findere' (to split). This term is used extensively in anatomy and medicine to name natural grooves and separations in the brain and other organs.
Kelly Says
The 'fissura' between your brain's hemispheres (called the longitudinal fissure) is one of the deepest cracks in your skull—it's where your left and right brain halves meet!
