The rate of heartbeat is regulated by the integrated activity of inhibiting and accelerating effects occuring in which part of the brain ?

A

Cerebellum

B

Diencephalon

C

Medula oblongata

D

Pons Varolii

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
A special neutral centre in the medulla oblongata can moderate the cardiac function through autonomic nervous system (ANS). Neutral signals through the sympathetic nerves (part of ANS) can increase the rate of heartbeat, the strength of ventricular contraction and thereby the cardiac output. On the other hand, parasympathetic neutral signals (another component of ANS) decrease the rate of heartbeat, speed of conduction of action potential and thereby the cardiac output.

Water is drained from a vertical cylindrical tank by opening a valve at the base of the tank. It is known that the rate at which the water level drops is proportional to the square root of water depth y , where the constant of proportionality k >0 depends on the acceleration due to gravity and the geometry of the hole. If t is measured in minutes and k=1/(15), then the time to drain the tank if the water is 4 m deep to start with is (a) 30 min (b) 45 min (c) 60 min (d) 80 min
