Medulla Oblongata

Preferred Label : Medulla Oblongata;

NCIt synonyms : Myelencephalon; Medullary;

NCIt related terms : BRAIN, MEDULLA OBLONGATA; Medulla;

NCIt definition : The lower portion of the brainstem located between the pons and the spinal cord. This structure contains several descending and ascending tracts, lower cranial nerve nuclei, a significant proportion of the reticular system of the brainstem and other structures.;

Alternative definition : CDISC: The portion of the brainstem between the pons and cervical spinal cord.; UBERON: Organ component of neuraxis that has as its parts the medullary reticular formation, inferior olivary complex and cochlear nuclear complex, among other structures[FMA]. The medulla oblongata lies directly above the spinal cord and controls vital autonomic functions such as digestion, breathing and the control of heart rate[GO].;
