    The spinal trigeminal nucleus is further subdivided into three parts, from rostral to caudal: Pars oralis (from the Pons to the Hypoglossal nucleus) Pars interpolaris (from the Hypoglossal nucleus to the obex) Pars caudalis (from the obex to C2) There is also a distinct trigeminal motor nucleus that is medial to the principal sensory nucleus.

    The cell nucleus (from Latin nucleus or nuculeus 'kernel, seed'; pl.: nuclei) is a membrane-bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells usually have a single nucleus, but a few cell types, such as mammalian red blood cells , have no nuclei , and a few others including osteoclasts have many .
