Question

The vital centers are located in the
A) medulla oblongata
B) pons
C) spinal cord
D) midbrain

Accepted Answer

The vital centers, which control essential bodily functions such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure, are located in the medulla oblongata, so choice A is the best option. The pons and midbrain are also important parts of the brainstem, but they are not primarily responsible for controlling vital functions. The spinal cord plays a role in transmitting signals to and from the brain, but it is not considered a vital center.
