With the exception of the midbrain, these primary vesicles undergo further differentiation at 5 weeks after conception to form the myelencephalon and the other secondary vesicles.[2] Myelencephalon to medullaFinal shape differentiation of the myelencephalon into the medulla oblongata can be observed at 20 weeks gestation.[2]
Medulla oblongataThe medulla oblongata is part of the brain stem that serves as the connection of the spinal cord to the brain. It is situated between the pons and the spinal cord. FunctionThe medulla oblongata is responsible for several functions of the autonomic nervous system. These functions include:[5] 1) Respiration: monitors the acidity of the blood and sends electrical signals to intercostal muscle tissue to increase their contraction rate in order to oxygenate the blood as needed. 2) Cardiac & Vasomotor Center:[6] monitors and regulates cardiovascular activities by:
3) Reflexes
Damage/traumaBecause of its location in the brainstem and its many important roles in the autonomic nervous system, damage to the medulla oblongata is usually fatal.
