The Medulla Oblongata's General Functions. Whereas the pons is located in the upper part of the brainstem, the medulla oblongata is a structure located in the lower half of the brainstem. Just because the medulla oblongata is beneath the pons, doesn't mean it's any less significant. In fact, they often work in tandem on issues such as breathing.
Cirrus are detached clouds in the form of white, delicate filaments or white or mostly white patches or narrow bands. These clouds have a fibrous (hair-like) appearance, or a silky sheen, or both. Cirrus clouds are composed almost exclusively of ice crystals. These crystals are in general very small, a fact, which together with their sparseness, accounts for the semi-transparency of most cirrus clouds.
Cirrus: They are the highest of all clouds and they are composed purely of ice crystals. They occur, specifically, at an altitude of  16,500 to 45,000 feet and they can be found all over the world. Although they are known to form precipitation, none of it reaches the ground.
