the lower part of the brain stem comprising of the pins ,medulla and cerebellum is known as hindbrain. the hindbrain is involved in the following functions:
regulation of respiration (pons)
maintaining the body posture and balance. (cerebellum)
and controlling the involuntary actions such as heartbeat, breathing, bp, peristaltic movement in the alimentary canal (medulla)

Hey friend here is your answer.....
The Hindbrain :
This is the posterior part of the brain and is located below the forebrain . It consists of the cerebellum, pons and medulla oblongata . the cerebellum smaller than the cerebrum and is located below it towards the back of the skull . the surface of the cerebellum as a large number of thinely spaced parallel grooves, unlike the irregular folds of the cerebrum . the cerebellum, too is made up of a large number of neurons . The upper layer , while the white matter is buried deeper within the structure . A fourth ventricle, filled with cerebrospinal fluid, lies between the cerebellum and the upper part of the medulla oblongata it is connected to the third ventricle , through a thin duct. The cerebellum coordinates our movements , both voluntary and involuntary . It maintains the bodies posture and balance, and helps us learn new movements .
the Pons lies just about the medula oblongata . It relays information from the fore brain to the cerebellum . It also helps control functions such as sleep, breathing, swallowing, bladder function, hearing, taste, eye moment, facial expressions, facial sensation, balance and posture .
The medulla oblongata lies in front of the cerebellum, at a slightly lower level, and connects to the spinal cord . It controls involuntary actions, such as Heartbeat breathing, sneezing, coughing, swallowing, vomiting , movements of the alimentary canal and secretion by glands . The midbrain, pons and medulla oblongata together makes up the brain stem.
