One possibility is death because the medulla oblongatta is considered the cardiac center. Without it, or if it is damaged severely can lead to cardiac failure and death.

Do cardiac enzymes remove dead tissue as a result of an infarction?

No, cardiac enzymes, such as CK, CKMB and troponin are proteins that help a cardiac cell function. When the cell is damaged, such as by a myocardial infarction, the cells die, and these proteins are liberated from the cell into the bloodstream where we can detect them and determine there has been cardiac cell death.


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

How does an increased or decreased cardiac output impact the body?

A decrease or increase of cardiac output in the body can result to several health problems depending on the body's health conditions. A stroke is prevalent if there is an increase of cardiac output that cannot be handled by the system. Lack of oxygen in the brain is an effect of a decrease cardiac output on the other hand.

Can damaged rods and cones heal?

Structure of the brain associated with regulation of respiration?

The brainstem, specifically the medulla oblongata, is primarily responsible for regulating respiration. The respiratory control centers in the medulla help coordinate the muscles involved in breathing and adjust the rate and depth of breaths to maintain appropriate levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body. The pons also plays a role in regulating breathing by helping to smooth out the breathing pattern.


How long can Cardiac cells can withstand ischemic conditions?

Cardiac cells can typically withstand ischemic conditions for about 20 minutes before irreversible damage occurs. Prolonged lack of oxygen and nutrients can lead to cell death and cardiac tissue damage, which can result in heart attack or heart failure. Immediate medical attention is crucial to restore blood flow and prevent permanent damage.


High level of which ion will result into cardiac arrest?

Potassium (K+)


What general function would be lost if the pyramids of the medulla were severed?

The pyramids of the medulla are responsible for carrying motor fibers from the cerebral cortex to the spinal cord. Severing the pyramids would result in loss of voluntary muscle control on the opposite side of the body below the level of the cut. This condition is known as contralateral hemiplegia.
