The most anterior portion of the leopard frog brain is the olfactory bulbs. These structures are responsible for processing information related to smell and play a key role in the frog's sense of smell and chemoreception.
The Circle of Willis is an anastomosis located at the base of the brain that connects the anterior and posterior blood supplies. It helps ensure continuous blood supply to the brain by allowing blood to flow between the carotid and vertebrobasilar systems. This configuration helps maintain brain function in the event of a blockage or reduced blood flow in one of the systems.
The anterior pituitary is controlled by the hypothalamus, which releases hormones that stimulate the anterior pituitary to release its own hormones. The anterior pituitary itself is not contained within a particular gland, but is connected to the hypothalamus via the pituitary stalk.
The regions not typically associated with the ventral anterior portion of the head are the occipital lobe, which is located at the back of the brain responsible for visual processing, and the cerebellum, situated towards the back of the brain underneath the occipital lobe and involved in motor control and coordination.
An example of an artery which starts with a 'v' is the vertebral artery, which takes blood to the posterior portion of the brain.
