The Medulla Oblongata (spinal bulb)."The medulla oblongata extends from the lower margin of the pons to a plane passing transversely below the pyramidal decussation and above the first pair of cervical nerves; ...
medulla oblongata Portion of the brain stem located between the pons and the spinal cord.
medulla The inner portion of an organ in contrast to the cortex or outer portion. Also, hindbrain.
The medulla oblongata is closest to the spinal cord, and is involved with the regulation of heartbeat, breathing, vasoconstriction (blood pressure), and reflex centers for vomiting, coughing, sneezing, swallowing, and hiccuping.
