DescriptionUnreviewed
The medulla can be thought of as being in two parts:
- an upper open part or superior part where the dorsal surface of the medulla is formed by the fourth ventricle.
- a lower closed part or inferior part where the fourth ventricle has narrowed at the obex in the caudal medulla, and surrounds part of the central canal.
