Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The posterior part of the brain that continues with the spinal cord is known as the brain stem. The brain stem is composed of the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata of the hindbrain. The main motor and sensory nerve of the face and neck are supplied by the brain stem. Brain stem regulates cardiac and respiratory function, sleep cycle, etc.
