Trigeminal nerve’s -nuclei in the pons receives sensory impulses for somatic sensations from the head and face and provide motor impulses that govern chewing via the trigeminal nerve’s
Abducens nerve- nuclei in the pons provide motor impulses that control Eye ball movement via abducens nerve
Facial nerves -nuclei in the pons receive sensory impulses for taste and provide motor impulses to regulate secretion of saliva tears and contraction of muscles of facial expression via the facial nerves
Vestibulocochlear nerves nuclei in the ponds receives sensory impulses from and provide motor impulses to Vestibular apparatus via the vestibulocochlear nerves this nerves convey involves related to balance and equilibrium
