Solution
The correct option is A Cerebrum Respiratory developments are under the control of Medulla oblongata, which is the breathing focus. Indeed, breathing is controlled by pneumotoxic and apneustic focuses on pons Varolii and expiratory and inspiratory focuses on Medulla oblongata. The medullary respiratory focus is continually under direct synthetic control.
So, the correct option is 'Medulla oblongata and Pons'.
