The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the part of the brain that moderates cardiac function through the autonomic nervous system (ANS). 2. **Analyzing the Options**: The options provided are: - Cerebrum - Medulla Oblongata - Diencephalon - Cerebellum 3. **Evaluating Each Option**: - **Cerebrum**: This is the largest part of the brain, primarily responsible for higher functions such as learning, thinking, speech, and judgment. It does not directly control cardiac function. - **Medulla Oblongata**: This part of the brain connects the brain to the spinal cord and is responsible for regulating involuntary actions, including heart rate and blood pressure. It plays a crucial role in cardiac function through the autonomic nervous system. - **Diencephalon**: This includes structures like the thalamus and hypothalamus, mainly involved in hormonal control and regulating sleep-wake cycles. It does not directly moderate cardiac function. - **Cerebellum**: This part is mainly responsible for coordination, balance, and posture. It does not have a direct role in controlling heart function. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the part of the brain that contains the center to moderate cardiac function through the autonomic nervous system is the **Medulla Oblongata**. **Final Answer**: Medulla Oblongata ---
