Caudal Pons

CLOSE

Figure 18—13. Transverse section through the caudal region of the pons. Notice that trigeminal nerve axons join the pons and run toward the pontine sensory nucleus and motor nucleus of the trigeminal nerve. The ventral pons is structurally distinct compared to the pontine tegmentum which occupies the dorsal two-thirds of the section. (Luxol Fast Blue – Cresyl Violet stain.)
