Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The emetic center receives information from the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ), which is responsible for detecting toxins and triggering the vomiting reflex. Option B is incorrect as the emetic center is located in the medulla oblongata, not in the vertebra prominens. Option C is also incorrect as the emetic center is not the target of antipyretics, which are medications used to reduce fever.
