Resumen del Recurso

Medulla Oblongata
  1. Inferior part of brain stem
    1. Begins at foramen magnum, extends to pons (about 3cm)
    2. Pyramids are protrusions formed by large corticospinal tracts that pass from cerebrum to spinal cord.
      1. Just superior to the junction of medulla with spinal cord, 90% of axons in left pyramid cross to the right side and vice versa. This is called decussation of pyramids.
      2. Nuclei in the medulla control & regulate the cardiovascular center & medullary rhythmicity area.
        1. Cardiovascular regulates rate & force of heart beat & diameter of blood vessels
          1. Rhythmicity area of the respiratory center adjusts the basic rhythm of breathing
          2. Controls reflexes for vomiting, swallowing, sneezing, coughing and hiccupping.
            1. Olive = olivary nucleus
              1. neurons send input to cerebellum
                1. proprioceptive signals
                  1. gives precision to movements
              2. 5 cranial nerves arise from medulla - 8 thru 12
