Talk:Medulla oblongata
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Where is the location of the Medulla?
- The first three sentences of this article answer exactly that. Semiconscious (talk ยท home) 04:21, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ascending tracts in the medulla
Good article. Studying it at the moment.
Ascending tracts (e.g. DCML / Spinothalamic) ascend through the medulla, no? So suggest add this to functions of the medulla?

[edit] Info that would be useful
If anyones interested in supplying it, I'd like to see this page include the following info: Related Disorders to the Medulla. Drugs which affect the Medulla. Primary neurotransmitters in the Medulla. Seg 02:45, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] The image
The sagittal MRI image does not indicate the correct location of the medulla oblongata - it is a little too caudal & actually indicates the most cephalad extent of the spinal cord. The medulla is anterior to the cerebellum and has the inferior cerebaellar peduncles arising from it, so the circle needs to move up a little, if anyone knows how to. --Mattopaedia 00:28, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Question
What's the deal with being shot here? Is it true that this will cause to body to be completely immobile with no twitches? Are the movies right?
- Which movie(s) are you referring to? Miami Vice or Waterboy? --WhiteEcho 20:28, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Orneriness in Alligators
I removed "In reptiles, such as the alligator, it is credited with controlling functions such as orneriness." since as far as I can tell this is just a rearrangement of a quote from The Waterboy, not actual scientific information about the medulla oblongata.
- I agree. Everyone knows that alligators are ornery because they got all them teeth and no toothbrush. Tracer Bullet 05:45, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Clean up needed
Clean up, reference to autonomic nervous system and raphe nuclei needed. Miserlou 01:12, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Unneccesary revert
There is no justification in that revert. Those were all legit and very sorely needed edits. Miserlou 02:41, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
- I think this is just a matter of miscommunication because we were both editing the same article at the same time. Please take a closer took at the edit history. --Arcadian 03:38, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
- Here is your edit from today (Dec 17th) with your edit summary "REVERT! I resent the implication that it was vandalism, it was cleanup, explained in edits and even mentioned in talk page. Look at this reasonably."
- Here is where I said I was fixing the vandalism from December 12th. I'm assuming that is what you were responding to in your edit summary, but nobody was accusing you of vandalism.
- Here was the vandalism on Dec 12th, where the word "arteries" was replaced with "butt cheeks".

- Sorry dude. Physiological psych final tomorrow, getting all stressed and edgy on the internets.Miserlou 03:42, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
- Inexcusable that information such as "buttcheeks" is still kept in the entry after such a period of time. The specific section on "Blood Supply" was better organised under Arcadian's edit. No edit wars please. Permafrost 07:13, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Questioning "Effects on the Body" Section
Does the information supplied under that headline belong in there? I think it should have a different title.
What I gather from the section name is that it will tell me what effect medulla oblongata has on the body, not what shooting someone through the mouth to hit it will do to the person. This is amateurish. --WNF 08:35, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- I have removed the unsourced section on the medula's role in assassination. If anyone wants it back, please provide a source. --Arcadian 20:44, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] changed XI to IX
I think it was a typo on line 37 which read
The posterolateral sulcus lies in line with the dorsal roots of the spinal nerves. It gives attachment to the rootlets of the glossopharyngeal, vagus and the accessory nerve or the XI, X, and the XI cranial nerves from above downwards in order.
which I changed to IX, X and the XI
