Explanation

The pons controls facial expressions, eye movement, and some sensory roles.

It serves as a communication bridge between different parts of the brain.

Explanation

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) includes 12 pairs of cranial nerves that originate from the brain.

These nerves primarily control functions of the head, neck, and some internal organs like the heart and lungs.

Explanation

Explanation

The medulla oblongata is the lowest part of the brainstem.

It is directly connected to the spinal cord.

It controls vital involuntary functions like heartbeat, breathing, and blood pressure.

Explanation

Pons is a part of the brainstem that acts as a bridge between the cerebellum and the rest of the brain.

It helps relay signals involved in motor control, sensory analysis, and sleep.

Explanation

Motor neurons carry impulses away from the central nervous system to effectors like muscles or glands.

They are responsible for triggering responses such as muscle movement.

Explanation

The longest cell in animals is the nerve cell.

Nerve cells are also known as neurons and in the human body, they can be up to 3 feet long.

Explanation

Medulla oblongata is a part of your brainstem,

that connects your brain to your spinal cord.

It also manages many of the most important functions of your body.

It is a cone-shaped neuronal mass responsible for autonomic functions ranging from vomiting to sneezing

Explanation

The telencephalon is the part of the developing brain that eventually forms the cerebral hemispheres.

The term "cerebral hemispheres" is synonymous with the telencephalon.
