There will be loss of normal breathing rhythm

Explanation:

A brain tumor in the pons region of the hindbrain is called as the pontine tumor or pontine glioma.

The pons present in the hindbrain bridges the cerebral cortex and the medulla oblongata. The pons along with medulla oblongata and control the autonomic functions like breathing, heart rate, blood pressure.

The respiratory center of the human body is located within the brainstem region in the pons and medulla oblongata. These are present as medullary and pontine respiratory groups.

The pontine respiratory groups – pneumotaxic and apneustic centres.

When the respiratory centers are affected due to any brain injury or tumor the respiratory rhythm and rate and breathing pattern are affected.

Hence, a brain tumor in the pons region will lead to a loss of normal breathing rhythm.

Two ways helpful bacteria work to keep you healthy
Zepler [3.9K]
Probiotics are healthy bacteria which live in the human body, in particular in the intestines, and help fight disease. They are living microorganisms which, when ingested, have beneficial effects on the human body. The most common form of probiotic is Lactobacillus Acidophilus.

It is estimated that there are several trillion friendly bacteria comprising over four hundred species in the average human gastrointestinal tract. By body weight, each of us carries around approximately four pounds of intestinal microflora!

They counteract damage done to the body due to antibiotic use and stimulates the immune system to function better when you are relatively healthy, but when you’re sick, they can also contribute significantly to relief of health problems ranging from indigestion and diarrhea to colon and liver cancer.

Lactobacillus Acidophilus is also involved in the production of B vitamins (niacin, folic acid, and pyridoxine) during the digestive process.

Some of the ways probiotics appear to improve health include: alleviating lactose intolerance, reducing and preventing diarrhea, defending against infections, enhancing the immune system, reducing inflammation, preventing allergic reactions, and reducing chronic constipation
