Medial medullary syndrome; Other names: Inferior alternating syndrome: Medulla oblongata, shown by a transverse section passing through the middle of the olive. (Medial medullary syndrome can affect structures in lower left: especially #5, #6, #8.) Specialty: Neurology Diagnostic method
Blood to the medulla is supplied by a number of arteries. [3] Anterior spinal artery: This supplies the whole medial part of the medulla oblongata. Posterior inferior cerebellar artery: This is a major branch of the vertebral artery, and supplies the posterolateral part of the medulla, where the main sensory tracts run and synapse. It also ...
The cardiovascular centre, or cardiovascular center, is part of the medulla oblongata of the brainstem. [1] [2] Normally, the heart beats without nervous control.In some situations, such as exercise, and major trauma, the cardiovascular centre is responsible for altering heart rate.
The medulla oblongata, often just referred to as the medulla, is the lower half of the brainstem continuous with the spinal cord. Its upper part is continuous with the pons. [11]: 1121 The medulla contains the cardiac, dorsal and ventral respiratory groups, and vasomotor centres, dealing with heart rate, breathing and blood pressure.
The gigantocellular reticular nucleus (also magnocellular reticular nucleus) is the (efferent/motor) medial zone of the reticular formation of the caudal pons and rostral medulla oblongata. It consists of a substantial number of giant neurons , but also contains small and medium sized neurons.
Your heart valves control the way blood flows in and out of your heart and through the four chambers of your heart. Valvular heart disease occurs when any of the valves in your heart are damaged.
The vasomotor center is a collection of integrating neurons in the medulla oblongata of the middle brain stem.The term "vasomotor center" is not truly accurate, since this function relies not on a single brain structure ("center") but rather represents a network of interacting neurons.
It includes the medulla, pons, and cerebellum. Myelencephalon ... Medial area Mammillary nuclei (part of mammillary bodies) Posterior nucleus; Lateral area
