What are the visceral functions controlled by the nuclei of the medulla?
Wiki User
∙ 9y ago
The medulla contains the cardiac, respiratory, vomiting and vasomotorcenters and therefore deals with theautonomic (involuntary) functions of breathing, heart rate and blood pressure. It is largely below the level of consciousness to control visceral functions, including heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, salivation, perspiration, pupillary dilation, urination, sexual arousal, breathing and swallowing.

The normal rate and depth of breathing is established in centers located in the?
The medulla oblongata, which is the most inferior part of the brainstem, contains the nuclei that regulate our rate and depth of breathing.
What is the origin of olivospinal tract?
It arises from lateral vestibular nuclei in the pons
What is the nuclei that coordinate motor output?
I'm not sure what nuclei would do that. If you mean cellular nuclei then it would be the nuclei in the soma on the motor neuron. But, if you are asking about motor coordination, that is controlled by a part of the brain called the cerebellum.
What structure is part of the brainstem?
The main parts of the brain stem are the medulla oblongata (myelencephalon), pons (part of metencephalon), and midbrain (mesencephalon). There are also many other structures such as various nuclei and neuronal pathways.
What is the medial nuclei of the thalamus?
It depends on which group of thalamic nuclei that you are referring to.anterior group of nuclei = relay station for hippocampal impulsesmedial group of nuclei = relay station for visceral impulsesanterior ventral group of nuclei = relay station for extrapyramidal impulsesintermediate ventral group of nuclei = relay station for cerebellar impulses concerned with integration of muscle tonepostero-lateral ventral group of nuclei = relay station for exteroceptive impulses & proprioceptive impulses from the opposite side of the body below the headpostero-medial ventral group of nuclei = relay station for exteroceptive and proprioceptive impulses from opposite side of headinterlaminar + midline + reticular nuclei = participate in the arousal reactions of the brain
Nuclei in the control automatic functions such as appetite and body temperature?
hypothalamus
How do animal and plant cells function?
Animal and plant cells are controlled by their nuclei.
Which nuclei are found in the pons?
The pons contains nuclei involved in various functions such as sleep, respiration, taste, hearing, and eye movement. Some specific nuclei found in the pons include the pontine nuclei, locus coeruleus, and the abducens nucleus.
What have two nuclei what are their names and functions?
Most ciliates have two nuclei: a macronucleus that contains hundreds of copies of the genome and controls metabolisms, and a single small micronucleus that contains a single copy of the genome and functions in sexual reproduction.
Are the Hypthalamus and the hhjkahdkhakshfah okasjdokjasojf?
The hypthalamus is defined as a portion of the brain that contains a number of small nuclei. These nuclei have a variety of different functions. One of the most important functions within this is the inking of the nervous system to the endocrine system.
The very long cranial nerve that originates from the nuclei in the medulla oblongata and projects preganglionic fibers through the neck to the thoracic and abdominal cavities is the what nerve?
vagus (X)
What are extra-pyramidal centers?
premotor area of cerebral cortex (area 6)corpus striatum (caudate & lentiform nuclei)subthalamic nucleus (in subthalamus)red nucleus (in midbrain)substantia nigra (in midbrain)inferior olivary nucleus (in medulla)nuclei of reticular formation (in brainstem)
