Medulla oblongata
| Name: | Medulla oblongata |
| Description: | The lower portion of the hindbrain and brainstem located between the pons and 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 (adapted from NCI Thesaurus). |
| Synonym(s): | myelencephalon, medulla |
| Is part of: | Hindbrain, brainstem |
