The functions of the me- dulla oblongata, which begin with the earliest manifestations oflife, have an instinctive character.

So also in respiration, thelungs continue to act after the inter-costal muscles are paralyzed;if the diaphragm lose its power, suffocation is the result, butthere will still be a convulsive movement of the lungs, indicatmgthe continued action of the medulla oblongata. 121. The Piieuriiogastrlc nerve (fnmi the wandering courseof its fibres, often called the jxir vaguni), is distributed to theprincipal vital organs, viz: lungs, heart, stomach and liver. Atthe corpora restiformia it is exclusively a sensitive nerve. Afterpassing downward through the posterior /bramen lacerum, it be-comes a mixed nerve, and is intimately associated with the spinalaccessories and glosso-pharyngeal nerves (see Fig, 59 and ex
