21. Damage to the cardio-respiratory centers in the medulla oblongata will cause respiratory arrest and ( secondarily ) cardiac arrest. 22. Which brings us to old friend Goose Gossage, who has once again engaged his mouth before notifying his medulla oblongata . 23. FFA1 receptors are present over the entire brain, but in highest numbers in the medulla oblongata and the substantia nigra. 24. While medulla oblongata is generally associated with basic autonomous functions, the two aforementioned nuclei are thought to be mainly somatosensory. 25. The myenteric plexus originates in the medulla oblongata as a collection of neurons from the ventral part of the brain stem. 26. In the medulla oblongata , the "'arcuate nucleus "'is a group of neurons located on the anterior surface of the medullary pyramids. 27. This is a life-threatening condition as it causes increased pressure on the medulla oblongata which contains respiratory and cardiac control centres. 28. This cessation of breathing is due to the underdevelopment of the body's respiratory control center, the medulla oblongata in premature infants. 29. It is thought that a number of loosely organized neuronal networks within the medulla oblongata probably interact to coordinate the emetic reflex. 30. The inferior petrosal sinus receives the internal auditory veins and also veins from the medulla oblongata , pons, and under surface of the cerebellum.
