Medulla oblongata damage would effect ___________, swallowing, digestion, gagging, puking, heart rate, etc
BREATHING
A cluster of neuronal cell bodies in the peripheral nervous system is called?
GANGLION
What are bundles of axons in the central nervous system that conduct action potentials toward the brain?
ASCENDING TRACTS
