- The hindbrain comprises of pons, cerebellum and medulla Medulla is also called the medulla oblongata. Pos situated below the midbrain consists of fibre tracts that interconnect different regions of the brain. Pneumotaxic centre present in pons regulate breathing reaction.
- Cerebellum has very convoluted surface in order to provide the additional space for many more neurons Cerebellum is associated with regulation and coordination of movement, posture and balance. The medulla of the brain is connected to the spinal cord. It contains centres which control respiration, cardiovascular reflexes and gastric secretions
The brain stem connects the brain to the spinal cord. The brain stem, which maintains life support system, consist of the diencephalon, medulla oblongata, pans varolu and the midbrain. The brain stem not only coordinates and integrates all incoming information; it also serves as the place of entry or exit for ten of the twelve cranial nerves
