(1) Many arterial branches arise from the vertebral and basilar artery to supply the medulla oblongata and the pons .(2) This is a section (looking down) through the frontal and temporal lobes, the pons , and the cerebellum.(3) The parasympathetic nervous system innervates the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands with fibers that originate in the pons and medulla, and synapse in the otic and submandibular ganglia.(4) The latter includes the diencephalon; mesencephalon, or midbrain; pons ; and medulla oblongata.(5) From above down these are the midbrain; a bridge-like structure, the pons ; and the medulla oblongata, which merges below with the spinal cord.
