Delve into the intricate structures of the brainstem's medulla oblongata, uncovering its closed and open parts, real cranial nerve nuclei, and the essential functions it serves, from motor control to cardiovascular regulation and pain modulation. Explore the reticular formation and the role of the ascending activating reticular system in consciousness and arousal. Discover the nuances of inspiration and expiration, and the cardiovascular centers. Featuring images by Dr. Fehér and Dr. Kozsurek.
