Contains autonomic centers which regulate blood pressure and respiratory rhythm as well as coughing and sneezing centers?

The autonomic nervous system is controlled by nerve centers in the spinal cord and brain stem. It is also influenced by the midbrain and cortex, and the cognitive centers affect reactions such as blushing.
Regarding the actual brain structure that contains autonomic centers regulating heart rate, respiration and other visceral activities, the answer is the medulla.
*The medulla also is mainly composed of fiber tracts.

∙ 15y agoI am not sure about coughing and sneezing, but heart beat, breathing, and other functions of the like are controlled by the Medulla Oblongata at the bottom of the brainstem. The location of the medulla oblongata is why snipers stereotypically aim between the eyes in in the nose in an attempt to hit it, instantly killing the person whilst relaxing all muscles.

The medulla oblongata regulates?
The medulla is found in the cardiovascular center of the brain and controls receptors in the body to control homeostasis (physical conditions such as temperature within the body).
Can coughing cause a torn or detached retina?
Yes, if the coughing is extreme and consistent for a long duration of time. This tends to put excessive pressure on the retina, thus possibly leading to a tear or detachment.
What is obdula oblingata?
The medulla oblongata is the lower half of the brainstem. In discussions of neurology and similar contexts where no ambiguity will result, it is often referred to as simply the medulla. The medulla contains the cardiac, respiritory , vomiting and vasomotor centers and deals with autonomic functions, such as breathing, heart rate and blood pressure
Increases actions regulated by the nervous system such as heart rate and blood pressure?
The baroreceptor is part of the autonomic nervous system. It increases actions regulated by the nervous system, such as heart rate and blood pressure.
Is autonomic central system part of central nervous system?
The autonomic nervous system is a division of the peripheral nervous system that controls automatic responses in the body, such as the heart rate, hormone levels, gastrointestinal functions, and metabolism.
What contains the autonomic center that regulate blood pressure and respiratory rhythm?
the medulla oblongata
Contains autonomic centers regulating blood pressure and heart rate?
Medulla.
Is the Regulation of blood pressure autonomic or somatic?
Autonomic
The medulla oblongata regulates?
The medulla is found in the cardiovascular center of the brain and controls receptors in the body to control homeostasis (physical conditions such as temperature within the body).
Is a regulation of blood pressure somatic?
Autonomic
Is the regulation of blood pressure a somatic reflex?
No. Its autonomic.
Structure of the brain associated with regulation of respiration?
The medulla oblongata is the lower half of the brainstem. In discussions of neurology and similar contexts where no ambiguity will result, it is often referred to as simply the medulla. The medulla contains the cardiac,respiratory, vomiting and vasomotor centers and deals with autonomic , involuntary functions, such as breathing, heart rate and blood pressure
What function does the medulla perform?
The medulla contains an autonomic reflex center involved in maintaining homeostasis of important visceral organs. Including the cardiac center which adjusts force and rate of heart contraction and the vasomotor center that regulates blood pressure by acting on smooth muscle in the walls of peripheral arterioles. Lastly, the respiratory center which controls the depth and rhythm of breathing.
Where are the main integrating centers for most autonomic reflexes?
The primary autonomic center of the brain is the Medulla Oblongata which is responsible for autonomic functions such as breathing, heart rate and blood pressure.
Where are the vital centers for the control of visceral activities?
The hypothalamus influences the autonomic centers in the brain stem and the spinal cord. In this way it regulates many Visceral activites such as heart rate, blood pressure respiratory rate and motility of digestive tract
What branch of the nervous system decreases blood pressure?
autonomic nervous system
When baroreceptors sense a change in pressure is the autonomic nervous system activated?
YES
