Structure and function of Hindbrain

Structure of hindbrain:

• The "Hindbrain" is composed of the cerebellum on the dorsal side and Pons and medulla which is collectively called brainstem on the ventral side.

• The "cerebellum has two hemispheres" and also has a grey matter called the cerebral cortex, and white matter called cerebellar medulla.

• Pons is located above the medulla.

Functions of hindbrain:

• It is involved in the coordination of muscular movements and maintenance of equilibrium.

• The pons of hind brain acts as bridge between cerebral cortex and cerebellum and sends an impulse.
