Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The medulla oblongata is the part of the brainstem that contains cardiovascular centers. These centers are responsible for adjusting the heart rate, the strength of cardiac contractions, and the flow of blood through the peripheral tissues. The pons, prefrontal cortex, thalamus, and midbrain are not directly involved in cardiovascular regulation.
