Answer 1

Dear Student,

Pons Varolii-

• Location- Pons Varolii is a band of nerve fibers in the brain connecting the lobes of the midbrain, medulla, and cerebrum.
• Functions-
  • The pons relays sensory information between the cerebellum and cerebrum and aids in relaying other messages in the brain as well.
  • It also controls arousal and regulates respiration.

Oviducal Funnel-

• Location- In the female reproductive system each oviduct (fallopian tube) shaped like a funnel which is known as an infundibulum (the oviducal funnel).
• Functions-
  • It consists of finger-like structures called fimbriae, which move on the ovary.
  • When an ovum has released from the ovary, the infundibulum directs the ovum into the fallopian tube, where the fertilization occurs.
