Question

the control of heart rate and blood pressure is based in the
thalamus.
diencephalon.
cerebrum.
medulla oblongata.
cerebellum.
check answer

Explanation:

The medulla oblongata is a part of the brainstem. It contains vital centers that regulate involuntary functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, and digestion. The thalamus is a sensory relay station. The diencephalon includes the thalamus and hypothalamus (the hypothalamus has some role in autonomic functions but not the primary center for heart rate and blood pressure regulation as directly as medulla). The cerebrum is involved in higher - order functions like thinking, memory, etc. The cerebellum is mainly for coordination of movement, balance, and posture.

Answer:

medulla oblongata.
