what is the function of"pons"in brain?

Answer 1

pons (pŏnz)
n., pl. pon·tes (pŏn'tēz).

1. The part of the brainstem that is intermediate between the medulla oblongata and the mesencephalon and is composed of a ventral part and the tegmentum.
2. A bridgelike formation connecting two disjoined parts of a structure or organ.

Answer 2

Pons is the cerebral cortex relay centre.

Pons- part of the metencephalon in the hindbrain. It is involved in motor control and sensory analysis... for example, information from the ear first enters the brain in the pons. It has parts that are important for the level of consciousness and for sleep. Some structures within the pons are linked to the cerebellum, thus are involved in movement and posture.

The pons (sometimes pons Varolii after Costanzo Varolio) is a structure located on the brain stem. It is rostral to the medulla oblongata, caudal to the midbrain, and ventral to the cerebellum. In humans and other bipeds this means it is above the medulla, below the midbrain, and anterior to the cerebellum. It is part of the central nervous system, and relays sensory information between the cerebellum and cerebrum. Some theories posit that it has a role in dreaming.

Answer 5

(m)

Function:

Arousal

Assists in Controlling Autonomic Functions

Relays Sensory Information Between the Cerebrum and Cerebellum

Sleep



Location:

The pons is the portion of the brainstem that is superior to the medulla oblongata.

Answer 6

pons (like 'ponds' but without the 'd')

A caudal part of the brainstem that has many sensory (ascending) and motor (descending) fibers as well as the reticular formation in its tegmentum.
It is parts of the latter structure that are important for the level of consciousness and for sleep.
Other striking features of the pons are: a) its large ventral or anterior part, the basis pontis, b) the middle cerebellar peduncle, and c) the superior cerebellar peduncle.
All three structures are linked to the cerebellum which sits on the posterior side of the pons. Thus, damage to any of those pontine structures would result in impaired coordination of movement and/or posture.

Answer 7

relays messages between the medulla oblongata and the cerebrum, and between the cerebrum and the cerebellum

Answer 8

pones control the regulation of respiration

Answer 9

their function is to regulate the respiration.
