I have removed the following, since I don't think it is correct:

my understanding is that a sulcus is not a fissure. In humans there is the longitudinal fissure that separates both hemispheres and this is not a sulcus. The same goes for a sylvian fissure. zorkerz ( talk) 18:15, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
Agree. These are two articles for the same thing and the articles are close to if not identical. I have no preference on with name to use. JakobSteenberg ( talk) 11:54, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

I propose merging
Fissure (anatomy) into
Sulcus (morphology). These are different terms for the same thing. Further, I don't think the current Fissure article should be the primary topic of of
Fissure (disambiguation), as most non-biologists would think of an
Earth fissure when they hear the word "fissure". If these articles are in fact merged as I propose, then I suggest adding an entry for
Sulcus (morphology) to the
Fissure (disambiguation) page. In any case, the current contents of the
Fissure article, which is about anatomy, should be merged into
Sulcus (morphology). 18:43, 14 September 2021 (UTC) — Preceding

Seems not much more input. I still don't see how Fissure (anatomy) and Sulcus (morphology) are different. The lead of the Sulcus (morphology) article defines sulcus as ... a furrow or fissure. It uses the word fissure to define sulcus, and it's clear this is 'fissure' in the sense of anatomy (not geology for example). And the Fissure (anatomy) article lead says "in anatomy... [a fissure] is also generally called a sulcus". How are these topics different? Coastside ( talk) 17:37, 21 September 2021 (UTC) Also, I looked up morphology (biology), and it distinguishes between external and internal morphology. Internal morphology is defined as anatomy.
