Exam answer
2 — CEREBELLUM 3 — MEDULLA OBLONGATA
Explanation
Identify the parts by their POSITION and APPEARANCE in the diagram: CEREBRUM — the largest part, filling the top and front, deeply folded into gyri and sulci CEREBELLUM — below and behind the cerebrum, smaller, with a finely ridged surface often described as tree-like MEDULLA OBLONGATA — the stalk at the base, continuing downwards into the spinal cord
The medulla is always the lowest structure in a brain diagram, because it is the part that joins the spinal cord — which makes it the easiest of the three to identify.
