The chief structures of the adult brain may 

 be tabulated as follows : — 



Hind-Brain 



Mid-Brain 



Medulla oblongata. 

 Cerebellum. 

 . Fourth ventricle. 



^ Peduncles of the cerebrum. 

 Optic lobes. 



Aqueduct. 



Thalamus. 

 Pineal body. 

 Infundibulum. 

 Hypophysis. 

 Fore-Brain \ Optic tracts and chiasma. 

 Cerebral hemispheres. 

 Olfactory lobes. 

 Third ventricle. 

 Lateral ventricles.
