Source sentences:
text: the pons is so-named because of a massive system of transverse fibers that “bridge” the longitudinal axis of the brainstem; these fibers originate in the basal region of the pons and continue around its ventral-lateral aspect to enter the contralateral cerebellar hemisphere Mnemonic note: the nerves with a roman numeral X in their name enter and exit at the medulla , those with a "V" (except IV) enter and exit the pons .
text: (ventral-lateral surface) massive system of transverse fibers that “bridge” the longitudinal axis of the brainstem; these fibers originate in the basal region of the pons and continue around its ventral-lateral aspect to enter the cerebellum Pontocerebellar fibers & middle cerebellar peduncle the ventral half of the pons (also called the basilar pons) contains gray matter, longitudinal axons, and transverse fibers called the pontocerebellar fibers that decussate and form the contralateral middle cerebellar peduncle
