Solution

The correct option is B

(i)Cardiac centre, (ii) Sympathetic system,(iii)Parasympathetic system, (iv)Baroreceptors


There are two very important cardiac centres in the medulla called the vasomotor centre and the cardiovagalcentre. The vasomotor centre sends signals through the sympathetic nervous system which in turn control the heart and vessels through secretion of norepinephrine or noradrenaline. The cardiovagalcentre, as the name suggests, sends signals through the parasympathetic pathway, specifically the vagal nerve. This centre is responsible mainly for decreasing the heart rate.These two receptors receive information from special cells called baroreceptors present in the aortic arch and in the carotid sinus.
