The medulla has the ascending and the descending tract which function to link the brain with the spinal cord.

<h3>What is the role of medulla?</h3>
  • Medulla oblongata is the lowermost part of the brain.
  • It is located at the place where the brain and the spinal cord connect thus it carries nerve signals between the brain to spinal cord thus help the entire body to communicate.
  • It controls biological processes like blood pressure, breathing and heartbeat.
  • Ascending tract functions to carry sensory information from the body (e.g.: pain) from the spinal cord to the brain (upwards).
  • Descending tract carry motor information (e.g.: instructions to move the arm) from the brain down the spinal cord to the body (downward).
  • Damage to medulla can lead to respiratory failure, paralysis, or loss of sensation.
