"C" is right.


Basilar artery supply the PONS.
-Lesion at PONS that cause the removal of inhibitory control of Apneustic center will produce
"Apneustic Breathing" (Plz refer kaplan physio or wiki)

-so if u see this respiratory pattern......Think of "PONS" lesion.

-when they talk about "Spontaneous Breathing'(Inherent Resp. Rhythm)---Think of "MEDULLA"
(again plz refer kaplan)


Thanks
