Why do they say someone is brain dead if they only have a functioning medulla oblongata?
The medulla oblongata is the most primitive part of the brainstem, which controls vital functions of respiration and circulation. "Brain death" usually refers to whether any EEG waves associated with consciousness (and not random "noise") are still observable as originating from the cortex of the brain. Brain death is often synonymous with a "vegetative state" in which a person can remain for years without awareness or the possibility of consciousness returning.
Does the human brain work with any other organs in the human body?
yes your brainstem/ medulla oblongata controls things like heartbeat breathing and digestion, cerebellum is the part that controls balance and muscle coordination, and the big part of brain cerebrum controls everything else
How is breathing controlled in the body and related to homeostasis?
A+ Students - medulla oblongata Breathing is controlled by the brain stem, in the medulla oblongata. Breathing is important for homeostasis because the pH balance of our blood id about 7.3, just slightly alkaline. Breathing controls the amount of oxygen vs. carbon dioxide in our blood by releasing carbon dioxide in the lungs so it leaves the body when we exhale. If you hyperventilate, for example, you will build up too much carbon dioxide which will make your blood become acidic. That's why they have you breathe into a paper bag, so you don't take in any more oxygen and the red blood cells have room to carry the carbon dioxide to your lungs.
Why is the cerebrum the most important?
The cerebrum is the largest area of the human brain (accounting for about 80% of the brains mass) because it is the region of the brain that controls the different aspects of complex thought( such as reading, writing, descision making, math, and logic) it is constantly making new connections as you learn new things and come up with new ideas.
Does paint fumes cause any damage to an aortic valve replacement patient?
Paint fumes (depending on what kind) can cause damage to any human. Its often a good idea to refrain from breathing in paint fumes whether or not you have an aortic valve replacement. Paint fumes when inhaled can cause damage to and kill brain cells (which you have a limited supply of).
What structure is not a cranial nerve?
Well, the brain stem consists of: the midbrain, the pons, and the medulla oblongata. So, any thing else is considered to not be a part of the brain stem.

What separate the renal cortex from the medulla?
The renal medulla is composed mostly of collecting ducts and the nephron loops. You will not see any glomeruli in the medulla, as they are confined to the cortex. This makes the renal cortex and renal medulla easily distinguishable.
What does Medullary mean?
As explained in dictionaries, Medullary means: 1 a : of or relating to the medulla of any body part or organ b : containing, consisting of, or resembling bone marrow c : of or relating to the medulla oblongata or the spinal cord d : of, relating to, or formed of the dorsally located embryonic ectoderm destined to sink below the surface and become neural tissue 2 : resembling bone marrow in consistency-used of cancers

How does damage to the medulla affect your mental processes and behavior?
Damage to the medulla, which is responsible for vital functions such as blood pressure regulation and breathing, can lead to serious physical symptoms such as difficulty breathing or swallowing. While damage to the medulla can affect consciousness, it is unlikely to significantly impact higher mental processes or behavior.
Does did and will psychiatry ever really cause any kind of brain damage ever?
Psychiatry does not cause brain damage since it covers the study, diagnosis, and treatment of brain disorders.
Why is severe damage to the neck often fatal?
The brain stem includes the medulla oblongata, which is a control center for respiratory and many other integrative functions such as cardiovascular, pain sensitivity, and alertness. Any information from the body to the cerebellum and cerebrum must also pass the brain stem. Thus, damage to the brain stem also affects other functions that are not directly related to it as well.
What percentage of people with chlamydia can be cured with antibiotics?
All patients with chlamydia can be cured with antibiotics. Effective treatment will eliminate the bacteria, although any resulting damage will not be reversed with antibiotics.
