French term

ancien noeud vital de Flourens

French to English Science Medical (general)
This sentence is packed by terms of which I am highly uncertain how to translate them properly.
For clarity, I'll ask each term individually:

-

Même le centre cardiaque bulbaire, ancien noeud vital de Flourens, est formé d'un petit nombre de cellules, de même le centre moteur situé dans les cellules embryonnaires incluses dans le muscle cardiaque.

archaic 'vital node' of Flourens

Flourens called the entire medulla of the brain the 'vital node' - see diagram in the reference provided (its a long outmoded idea )

I can only find information regarding the cardiac and respiratory centres of the medulla of the brain, nothing about “bulbar” re the heart, so I am wondering whether they mean “centre RESPIRATOIRE bulbaire”..
