This document is not meant to be a substitute for a formal laboratory report. The Lab Report Assistant is simply a summary of the experiment’s questions, diagrams if needed, and data tables that should be addressed in a formal lab report. The intent is to facilitate students’ writing of lab reports by providing this information in an editable file which can be sent to an instructor.

Questions: Exercise 2 The Sheep Brain Dissection
A. Which of the four major areas of the brain (cerebrum, diencephalon, cerebellum and brain stem) was obviously much larger in the human brain diagram than in the sheep brain? Why do these structures differ so dramatically? Human- cerebrum larger than sheep; higher cortical function capability to match need. Other areas reflect relatively equal importance to the two species.
B. What is the significance of the size difference in the olfactory bulbs between humans and
