Question

What centres does the Medulla regulate?

Answer 1

Medulla:

1. Also known as the medulla oblongata, it is a part of the midbrain that forms the seat of all involuntary functions of the body and continues into the spinal cord.
2. The medulla contains centers that regulate cardiovascular reflexes, respiration, and gastric secretions.
3. The medulla contains the cardiac, respiratory, vomiting, and vasomotor centers and regulates autonomic, involuntary functions such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure.
4. The medulla oblongata plays a critical role in transmitting signals between the spinal cord and the higher parts of the brain and in controlling autonomic activities, such as heartbeat and respiration.
