  • Analyze the three sections of the brain stem, their individual functions, and their component role in brain physiology.
  • Categorize the brainstem, cerebellum, and cerebrum in terms of anatomy and functions.
  • Evaluate the functions of the ventricles of the brain and the choroid plexus, including their role in the formation and maintenance of CSF.
  • Distinguish the cranial nerves and categorize if the nerve is sensory, motor, or mixed and its major function(s).
