Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the choices (A, B, C, D) are correct processing centers in the medulla that coordinate complex sympathetic and parasympathetic reflexes. The vasomotor center regulates blood vessel diameter and blood pressure, the cardiac center regulates heart rate and contractility, the swallowing center coordinates swallowing movements and the vomiting and coughing centers coordinate reflexes for those actions.
