Back
brake pedal, master cylinder, fluid reservoir, and brake lines
Explanation:
The brake pedal is the connection between the driver’s foot and the master cylinder. The master cylinder is a hydraulic pump that forces fluid into the wheel cylinders when the brake pedal is touched, creating a friction that helps the vehicle slow or stop. The fluid reservoir holds the break fluid and sits on top of the master cylinder. The break lines transmit fluid from the master cylinder to the brake assemblies.
