Which Part of the Brain Participates in the Baroreceptor Reflex

Question

Which part of the brain participates in the baroreceptor reflex?
A) Cerebrum
B) Corpus callosum
C) Cerebellum
D) Medulla oblongata

Accepted Answer

The medulla oblongata is the part of the brainstem that participates in the baroreceptor reflex, which helps regulate blood pressure. It contains the cardiovascular control center, which receives input from the baroreceptors and initiates appropriate changes in heart rate, blood vessel constriction or dilation, and other factors to maintain blood pressure homeostasis.
