Oblongata
Danileico Inga

Medulla oblongata, also called
medulla, the lowest part of the brain
and the lowest portion of the
brainstem. The medulla oblongata is
connected by the pons to the midbrain
and is continuous posteriorly with the
spinal cord, with which it merges at the
opening (foramen magnum) at the base
of the skull.
 The the dorsal
medulla is medulla (the
the ventral
rear portion;
divided into medulla (the
also known as
two main frontal portion)
the
parts: tegmentum)
The medulla consists of both myelinated (white matter) and unmyelinated
(gray matter) nerve fibres, and, similar to other structures in the brainstem,
the white matter of the medulla, rather than lying beneath the gray matter, is
intermingled with the latter, giving rise to part of the reticular formation .
