PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Your pons is a part of your brainstem, which links your brain to your spinal cord. That makes your pons a vital section of your nervous system, providing a route for signals to travel to and from your brain. Several neurotransmitters in your pons facilitate brain function, particularly sleep.

Detailed explanation-2: -The pons is a portion of the hindbrain that connects the cerebral cortex with the medulla oblongata. The function of the pons is to relay signals from the cerebellum to the cerebrum (connects spinal cord to brain).

Detailed explanation-3: -The cerebellum is connected to the brainstem by three pairs of cerebellar peduncles: the superior peduncle with the midbrain, the middle peduncle with the pons, and the inferior peduncle with the medulla oblongata.

Detailed explanation-4: -The pons is in the brainstem situated between the midbrain and the medulla oblongata, and in front of the cerebellum. A separating groove between the pons and the medulla is the inferior pontine sulcus. The superior pontine sulcus separates the pons from the midbrain.
