At the lower margin of the pons it expands slightly and ends in a blind pit, which receives the name of the foramen caecum of Vicq d'Azyr. The fissura mediana posterior is present only on the lower half of the medulla oblongata. As it ascends it rapidly becomes shallower. Half-way up, the central canal opens on the dor- sal surface of the medulla oblongata, and at this point the lips of the posterior median fissure are thrust apart from Fig. 479.—Posterior View of the Medulla, Pons, and Mesencephalon each other and consti- OF A FULL-TIME HUMAN FffiTUS. tute the boundaries of a triangular field, which is thus opened up on the dorsal surface. This triangular field is the lower part of the fossa rhomboidea, or the floor of the fourth ventricle of the brain. The lower half of the medulla oblongata, containing as it does the continuation of the central canal of the spinal medulla, is frequently termed the closed part of the medulla oblongata; the upper half, above the opening of the canal, which by its dorsal surface forms the lower part of the floor of the fourth ventricle, is then called the open part. Deferring for the present the examination of the floor of the fourth ventricle, the appearance presented by the real surface of the
