- Nuclei in the medulla control & regulate the cardiovascular
center & medullary rhythmicity area.
- Cardiovascular regulates rate & force of
heart beat & diameter of blood vessels
- Rhythmicity area of the respiratory center
adjusts the basic rhythm of breathing
- Cardiovascular regulates rate & force of
heart beat & diameter of blood vessels
- Controls reflexes for vomiting, swallowing,
sneezing, coughing and hiccupping.
