Begin by understanding the basic structure of the embryonic brain. The brain develops from three primary vesicles: the prosencephalon (forebrain), mesencephalon (midbrain), and rhombencephalon (hindbrain).
The rhombencephalon further divides into two secondary brain vesicles: the metencephalon and the myelencephalon.
The metencephalon gives rise to structures such as the pons and cerebellum.
The myelencephalon develops into the medulla oblongata, which is responsible for autonomic functions such as breathing and heart rate.
Therefore, the medulla oblongata originates from the myelencephalon, which is a subdivision of the rhombencephalon.
