Given statement is false
- The medulla oblongata is a brain stem structure that sits in front of (or before) the cerebellum.
- In the hindbrain, there is a cone-shaped neuronal (nerve cell) mass that governs a range of autonomic (unwilling) actions.
- This portion of the brain helps to transmit messages from the body to the spinal cord and the thalamus in the brain.
- The major function of the thalamus is to relay and receive data from the spinal cord and cerebellum.
- The medulla oblongata controls breathing, heart and blood vessel function, digesting, sneezing, and swallowing.
- Here are the brain's respiratory and circulatory centres.
- The medulla is where the sensory and motor neurons (nerve cells) of the forebrain and midbrain migrate.
- The medulla oblongata receives blood from the anterior spinal artery, posterior inferior cerebellar artery, and direct branches of the vertebral artery.
