Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The hindbrain is also known as rhombencephalon. It is the lower part of the brain stem. It comprises medulla, pons, and cerebellum. Hindbrain possesses a variable number of transversal swelling, known as rhombomeres. The hindbrain is responsible for controlling major fundamental survival functions like respiratory rhythm, motor activity, sleep, and others.
