  1. Frontal lobe
    • Olfactory bulb
    • Involved in olfaction
    • Optic chiasma
    • Where optic nerves cross
  2. Optic tract
    • Optic nerve (II)
    • Vision
    • Mammillary bodies
    • Relay stations in the olfactory pathways
    • Cerebellum
    • Skeletal muscle contraction for smooth, coordinated movements
    • Pons
    • Sleep, respiration, swallowing, hearing, taste
    • Medulla oblongata
    • Autonomic reflex center--> homeostasis
    • Pyramids of medulla (brainstem)
    • Contains motor fibers, support motor signals
    • Spinal cord
    • Provides a 2 way communication
    • Cerebral peduncles
    • Connect cerebellum to brain stem
