Lowest part of the brain-stem, located just above the spinal cord, at the exit from the skull. Provides control for breathing and heart function.
The lowermost portion of the vertebrate brain, continuous with the spinal cord, responsible for the control of respiration, circulation, and certain other bodily functions.
An area in the brain stem through which nerve fibre tracts ascend to or descend from higher brain centres.
(muh-DULL-ah ob-long-GAH-tah) the part of the brainstem located just above the spinal cord; means "rather long and narrow;" acting as kind of a "telephone exchange," the medulla oblongata links the higher brain centers with several senses.
(meh-DUL-ah ohb'-lohng-GAW-tah) The inferior part of the brain stem.
Part of the brain responsible for the control of involuntary functions such as breathing, cardiovascular regulation, and swallowing.
The part of the brain just above the spinal cord that includes the control centres for breathing, circulation and heartbeat.
controls basic body functions such as heart rate and breathing
most caudal portion of the brainstem; contains important nerve centers for autonomic functions such as heartbeat and blood pressure
Portion of the brain stem located between the pons and the spinal cord.
The most caudal of the five brain regions, also called myelencephalon.
lower or hindmost part of the brain; continuous with spinal cord; (`bulb' is an old term for medulla oblongata); "the medulla oblongata is the most vital part of the brain because it contains centers controlling breathing and heart functioning"
The medulla oblongata (myelencephalon) is the extension, within the skull of the upper end of the spinal cord, forming the lowest part of the brain stem. Besides forming the major pathway for nerve impulses entering and leaving the skull, the medulla regulates the reflex responses controlling respiration, heart beat, blood pressure, and adhere involuntary processes.
meninges the three membranes (the arachnoid, the dura mater, and the pia mater) that cover the brain
(meh- doo-luh obb-long- gah-tuh) The lowest part of the vertebrate brain; a swelling of the hindbrain dorsal to the anterior spinal cord that controls autonomic, homeostatic functions, including breathing, heart and blood vessel activity, swallowing, digestion, and vomiting.
The region of the brain that, with the pons, makes up the hindbrain; controls heart rate, constriction and dilation of blood vessels, respiration, and digestion. PICTURE
The section of the brain stem connecting the brain to the spinal cord. It is responsible for involuntary functions such as breathing, heart rhythms, and swallowing.
a hindbrain structure that regulates breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, and other life functions. (80)
A neural end organ that responds to a mechanical stimulus and which is found in vertebrates between the spinal cord and the pons.
in vertebrates, a cone-shaped neuronal mass that lies between the pons and spinal cord
The most posterior part of the brainstem, at the border between the brain and the spinal cord.
A part of the brainstem that regulates breathing, heartbeat, and blood flow.
the lowest section of the brainstem (at the top end of the spinal cord); it controls automatic functions including heartbeat, breathing, swallowing, etc.
The tapering caudal position of the hind brain.
