The pons is the "bridge" between the spinal cord and the barin stem.
The pneumotaxic center is located in the upper pons of the brainstem, specifically in the pontine respiratory group. The apneustic center is located in the lower pons of the brainstem. Together, these centers help regulate the rhythmic breathing pattern.
Pons are located in front of the medulla and are involved in regulating body movement, attention, sleep, and alertness.
The two nuclei of the Facial nerve in the pons are the motor nucleus (located in the lower pons) which controls the muscles of facial expression, and the superior salivatory nucleus (located in the upper pons) which regulates salivary gland secretions.
The English translation of the Latin word "pons" is bridge or drawbridge. The pons is also a name for structure located on the brain stem and is named after the latin word.

fourth ventricle
The pons is a structure located in the brainstem that helps to relay signals between different parts of the brain. It plays a role in regulating breathing, sleep, and facial movements.
pneumotaxic pontine respirator group (PRG)
Occulomotor nerve (CN III) is located between the midbrain and pons.
The respiratory center is located in the brainstem, specifically in the medulla oblongata and pons. These regions of the brain control the basic rhythm and depth of breathing through signals to the muscles involved in respiration.
