What are the three types of fibers found in the cerebral medulla?

There are three main types of white matter nerve fiber tracts: commissural fibers, association fibers, and projection fibers.

What is the function of the medulla oblongata and pons?

The pons, while involved in the regulation of functions carried out by the cranial nerves it houses, works together with the medulla oblongata to serve an especially critical role in generating the respiratory rhythm of breathing. Active functioning of the pons may also be fundamental to rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.
