Which of the Following Visceral Reflexes is Not Coordinated by the Medulla

Question

Which of the following visceral reflexes is not coordinated by the medulla oblongata?
A) swallowing reflex
B) vasomotor reflex
C) coughing reflex
D) cardioacceleratory reflex
E) pupillary reflex

Accepted Answer

The pupillary reflex is primarily coordinated by the midbrain, not the medulla oblongata. The medulla oblongata is responsible for vital bodily functions such as breathing, heart and blood vessel function, digestion, sneezing, and swallowing, but not for the pupillary reflex, which involves the muscles controlling pupil size in response to light intensity.
