Pons

PONS

Structures present above the medulla function as bridging and communicating information between medulla cerebellum and forebrain structures.
Pons contain pontine nuclei.
It also includes superior olivary nucleus of auditory system and nuclei of visceral centres to regulates respiratory and cardio vascular system.
It is concerned with control of alertness and initiates sleep.
It serves as integration centre and relay motor centres.
It also houses cranial nerves 5,6,7 and 8.
It has two paired respiratory centres known as pneumotaxic centre and apneustic centre that control respiratory rate and rhythm.
