Q. If medulla oblongata is destroyed then which of the following functions will be effected ?

AIIMSAIIMS 2011

Solution:

Medulla oblongata is part of the vertebrate brain stem, derived from the hindbrain, that is continuous with the spinal cord. Its function is to regulate the reflex responses controlling respiration, heart beat, blood pressure, and other involuntary processes. It gives rise to many of the cranial nerves.
