1.Which cranial nerves did you select? What are their functions? In relation to the model, which lobe of the brain are they located near?I chose the Vagus Nerve which controls much of the vegetative functions of the body, such as heart rate and digestion, arising from the medulla oblongata and communicating with a large number of different brain regions and the Trigeminal Nerve which carries facial sensation and is involved in chewing, arising from the pons and communicating to the parietal lobe for sensory.2.What is the smallest organ in the endocrine system? Where is it located? Which hormone does it produce? The smallest organ in the endocrine system is the pineal gland, located in theepithalamus just above the brainstem and near the third ventricle. It producesmelatonin, which is essential for regulating the body’s sleep-wake cycle.
