The main parts of a typical automotive braking system include: 

Brake Pedal: The brake pedal is the part that the driver presses with their foot to activate the brakes. When the pedal is depressed, it transfers force to the brake master cylinder. 

Brake Master Cylinder: The master cylinder is responsible for converting the force applied to the brake pedal into hydraulic pressure. It contains a piston that pressurizes the brake fluid in the brake lines. 

Brake Lines: Brake lines are a network of metal or flexible hoses that carry the pressurized brake fluid from the master cylinder to the brake calipers or wheel cylinders at each wheel.

Brake Calipers (Disc Brakes) or Wheel Cylinders (Drum Brakes): These are the components that apply the braking force to the brake discs (rotors) or brake drums. In disc brakes, calipers contain pistons that squeeze brake pads against the rotors. In drum brakes, wheel cylinders push brake shoes against the brake drums. 

Brake Pads (Disc Brakes) or Brake Shoes (Drum Brakes): These are the friction materials that make contact with the brake discs or drums to generate the stopping force. Brake pads are used in disc brake systems, while brake shoes are used in drum brake systems. 

Brake Discs (Rotors) or Brake Drums: These are the rotating components that the brake pads or shoes make contact with to create friction and slow down or stop the vehicle. Disc brakes use brake discs (rotors), while drum brakes use brake drums. 

Brake Fluid: Brake fluid is a specially formulated hydraulic fluid that is used to transmit the force from the master cylinder to the brake calipers or wheel cylinders. It also serves to lubricate and protect the brake system components from corrosion. 

Brake Booster (Power Brake System): Some vehicles have a brake booster, which is a device that assists in applying the brakes by amplifying the force applied to the brake pedal. It makes it easier for the driver to apply the brakes effectively. 

Brake Lines and Hoses: These transport the brake fluid between the components and allow for movement and flexibility as the wheels and suspension move. 

Brake Hardware and Springs: These are used in drum brake systems to retract the brake shoes when the brake pedal is released and to maintain proper spacing and tension within the brake assembly. 

ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) Components (Optional): In modern vehicles, an ABS system is often included to prevent wheel lock-up during hard braking, improving vehicle stability and control. ABS components include sensors, a control module, and valves that modulate brake pressure. 

Parking Brake (Emergency Brake): This is a separate brake system that can be manually engaged to hold the vehicle stationary when parked. It typically operates on the rear wheels and is usually cable-operated or electronically controlled. 

These components work together to create friction and slow down or stop the vehicle when the driver applies the brakes. The specific configuration and design of a braking system can vary depending on the type of vehicle and its intended use.
