arbor vitae
- Olfactory bulb: Located at the front of the brain, underneath the frontal lobe
- Optic nerve: Extends from the back of the eye to the brain, connecting to the optic chiasma
- Optic chiasma: Located at the base of the brain, where the optic nerves partially cross over
- Central canal: Found within the spinal cord
- 4th ventricle: Located in the brainstem, posterior to the pons and medulla oblongata
- Cerebral aqueduct: Connects the third and fourth ventricles in the brain
- 3rd ventricle: Located in the diencephalon, between the two halves of the brain
- Lateral ventricles: Found in each hemisphere of the brain, connected to the third ventricle
- Corpus callosum: Connects the two hemispheres of the brain
- Thalamus: Located deep within the brain, acting as a relay station for sensory information
- Pineal gland: Located near the center of the brain, responsible for producing melatonin
- Hypothalamus: Found below the thalamus, regulating various bodily functions including hunger, thirst, and temperature
- Arbor vitae: Located within the cerebellum, translating to "tree of life" in Latin referring to its branching, tree-like appearance
