Question

Which parts of the brain are included in hindbrain? Explain.

Answer 1

The hindbrain, also called rhombencephalon, comprises pons, cerebellum, and medulla (also called the medulla oblongata). Most of the 12 cranial nerves are also found in the hindbrain. The cranial nerves are 12 pairs of nerves that pass through small holes at the base of the skull. These nerves are responsible for carrying information and connecting the brain to different parts of the body (sensory organs, motors, muscles, organs, etc.,)
