What 2 major brain areas are involved in the nervous control of breathing?
Medulla & pons
Is the pons involved in sleep?
Yes
When individuals experience pain and pleasure the pons has been stimulated?
The pons is a part of the brainstem involved in regulating basic functions like sleep and arousal. It is not directly responsible for feeling pain and pleasure, but it does play a role in processing and transmitting sensory information related to these experiences to higher brain regions.
Is the pons involved in motor control?
Yes
What are pons?
Pons are located in front of the medulla and are involved in regulating body movement, attention, sleep, and alertness.
Which structure carries sensory information?
the dorsal horn is involved in sensory functions
What does pons and medulla have in common?
The pons is a bulb that is cranial (towards the crown of the skull) with respect to the medulla oblongata (in turn caudal -- towards the tailbone, with respect to the pons). The pons relays sensory information between the cerebellum and the cerebrum, while also regulating arousal and breathing. The medulla controls blood pressure, heart rate, breathing and other autonomic functions.
What is the main function of pons?
In the brain, the pons relays sensory information between the cerebellum and cerebrum; aids in relaying other messages in the brain; controls arousal, and regulates respiration. The pons may have some role in dreams and dreaming.
Which nuclei are found in the pons?
The pons contains nuclei involved in various functions such as sleep, respiration, taste, hearing, and eye movement. Some specific nuclei found in the pons include the pontine nuclei, locus coeruleus, and the abducens nucleus.
Bottom-up processing involves analysis that begins with the?
Sensory Receptors
The sensory receptor sensory neuron motor neuron and effector involved in a reflex form a?
A reflex arc.
Is The ventral respiratory group is contained within the pons?
No, the ventral respiratory group is not contained within the pons. It is a collection of neurons in the medulla oblongata that plays a major role in regulating respiration. The pons is also involved in regulating breathing, but it houses the pontine respiratory group.
