Q

infundibulum

A

 Is located in multiple places in the body, in the brain it connects the hypothalamus to the pituitary gland in the hypothalamus-pituitary complex. Contains nerve axons and vasculature
- if looking at the bottom of the brain inferior to the pituitary gland

17
Q

pituitary gland

A

 Is at the base of the brain, behind the nose, and in an indention of the sphenoid bone called the sella turcica

18
Q

Pineal gland

A

is in the middle of the brain just above the thalamus

19
Q

brain stem

A

midbrain
pons
medulla oblongata

20
Q

midbrain

A

superior and inferior colliculi

21
Q

superior colliculi

A

 Is located in the midbrains, on the posterior side, and is above the inferior colliculi. One colliculi on each side of the brainstem

22
Q

inferior colliculi

A

 In the midbrain, of on the dorsal surface, is situated just below the superior colliculi

23
Q

pons

A

o Is in the brainstem, is between the mid-brain and the medulla oblongata

24
Q

medulla oblongata

A

o Is at the base of the brain, is where the brainstem connects to the spinal cord.

25
