Question

Medulla oblongata is called as:

• A. Piamater
• B. Duramater
• C. Vital knot
• D. Pons verom

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Vital knot

• The medulla oblongata is a crucial part of the brainstem that controls vital autonomic functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration, which is why it is often referred to as the "vital knot." It is not related to the meninges terms like piamater or duramater, and it is distinct from the pons, which is another part of the brainstem.
