Q. The respiratory and cardiac centres are located in

AMUAMU 1995

Solution:

: Medulla oblongata is the most caudal part of the brain. It has many vital centres to control circulation, heart and lungs. Damage to any one of them can be fatal. The area in the medulla that is concerned with respiration has classically been called the respiratory centre and the activity of the heart is the result of autonomic reflex activity controlled by cardiac centre.
