| Infarcts of the cerebellar arteries may also affect part of the medulla oblongata or pons. |
| In the lower part of the illustration is the cut surface of the medulla oblongata and a view of the ventral pons from below. |
| Many arterial branches arise from the vertebral and basilar artery to supply the medulla oblongata and the pons. |
| The edifice of the human brain rises from the spinal cord and is founded on the medulla oblongata. |
