The pons is a bulb that is cranial (towards the crown of the skull) with respect to the medulla oblongata (in turn caudal -- towards the tailbone, with respect to the pons). The pons relays sensory information between the cerebellum and the cerebrum, while also regulating arousal and breathing. The medulla controls blood pressure, heart rate, breathing and other autonomic functions.
