| | Medulla oblongata - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | By anatomical terms of location, it is rostral to the spinal cord and caudal to the pons, which is in turn ventral to the cerebellum. | | | The base of the medulla is defined by the commissural fibres, crossing over from the ipsilateral side in the spinal cord to the contralateral side in the brain stem - below this is the spinal cord. | | | Cranial nerves IX and X (glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves) also emerge from the medulla. |

| | The medulla spinalis or spinal cord forms the elongated, nearly cylindrical, part of the central nervous system which occupies the upper two-thirds of the vertebral canal. | | | They are distributed with the peripheral nerves chiefly to the skin, only a few are found in the nerves to the muscles. | | | The rubrospinal fasciculus is supposed to be concerned with cerebellar reflexes since fibers which pass from the cerebellum through the superior peduncle send many collaterals and terminals to the red nucleus. |

| | Bjork: Medulla (2004): Reviews |
| | Medulla may divide Björk's audience, but, combining intellectual rigour and sensual ravishment, it is brave and unique. | | | Where 2001's Vespertine was erotic, Medulla is reflexive and awestruck. | | | Bits of Medulla sound similar to Vespertine, but there’s a marked distinction in the means of delivery and enough change to keep things interesting. |

| | The medulla oblongata is a cone-shaped part of the brain that is located on the lowermost portion of the brain stem and gradually transitions into the spinal cord. | | | As part of the most primitive region of the brain, the medulla is responsible for some of the most basic functions of life such as the involuntary processes of breathing, swallowing, and digesting. | | | The medulla also operates in tandem with the cerebellum to control movement, and works in conjunction with the thalamus to regulate states of arousal and sleep. |

| | Medulla Oblongata |
| | The medulla oblongata is an enlarged continuation of the spinal cord extending up into the "pons" (a large bulge under the brain stem). | | | Because of its location, all ascending and descending nerve fibers connecting the brain to the spinal cord must pass through it. | | | On each side of the medulla oblongata is an oval swelling, called the "olive", from which a large bundle of nerve fibers arises and passes up into the cerebellum. |

| | Björk: Medulla: Pitchfork Review |
| | Just as television networks bank on our interest in reality, Björk's emotional impact seems dependent on one's fascination with her. | | | Medulla suggests that if she is artistically important-- and I should preface all of this by stating I don't normally evaluate music or musicians based on my perception of their "importance"; Björk simply makes it difficult to do otherwise-- it's as a small scale model of the same individualist, mundane obsessions that dominate popular culture. | | | Medulla (her fifth album, and first since 2001's imperfect, introspective Vespertine) presents no set of ideas more compelling than those concerning its creator, her whims and impressions. |

| | Björk: Medulla - PopMatters Music Review |
| | With all of Medulla's faults (and it has its faults), there are enough moments of jaw-dropping inventiveness that a single review is limited in how effective its critique can be (I haven't even mentioned the incredible closing track, "Triumph of a Heart"). | | | This is, after all, Björk's much talked about "a capella" album, the creepy, sensual, beguiling, frustrating, ugly, lovely, Medulla. | | | In the realm of pop music (which Björk still creates within even if her brand of it seems outlandishly left-field) we are often left arms crossed, waiting for the chorus to come and impress us enough to tap a foot, or wiggle a hip. |

| | Medulla by Bjork CD |
| | Bjork reaches her peak when she combines both of these seemingly disparate forces, as in the electrifying "Who Is It (Carry My Joy on the Left, Carry My Pain on the Right)" and the album-closer, "Triumph of a Heart." MEDULLA proves that, once again, when it comes to sheer musical audacity, Bjork knows no boundaries. | | | With 2004's MEDULLA, Bjork's already distinctive musical vision is catapulted into another stratosphere. | | | "Pleasure Is All Mine" immediately establishes MEDULLA's haunting, yet strangely comforting, tone. |

| | In general, circulating epinephrine and norepinephrine released from the adrenal medulla have the same effects on target organs as direct stimulation by sympathetic nerves, although their effect is longer lasting. | | | Many types of "stresses" stimulate such secretion, including exercise, hypoglycemia and trauma. | | | Secretion of these hormones is stimulated by acetylcholine release from preganglionic sympathetic fibers innervating the medulla. |
