Answer:
This question includes some errors, the question should be written as:
The medulla oblongata controls the contraction and relaxation of the ______ causing the lungs to inflate and deflate during breathing.
Although there are no options, the answer is generally RESPIRATORY MUSCLES i.e. diaphragm and intercostal muscles
Explanation:
Breathing is an involuntary action required to take place in order to get oxygen into the system and carbon dioxide out of the system. However, the process of breathing is neurally controlled by brain portion called RESPIRATORY CONTROL CENTERS.
The Medulla oblongata located in the hindbrain is one of the two respiratory control centers (the other being the PONS). The medulla sends nerve signals to the muscles responsible for bringing about the ventilation process i.e. the DIAPHRAGM and INTERCOSTAL MUSCLES.
This nerve impulse brings about the contraction of the diaphragm, which is the major respiratory muscle, and intercostal muscle causing the lungs to inflate and allow the entry of oxygen-containing air. On the other hand, it also brings about the relaxation of these muscles causing the lungs to deflate allowing the expelling of air.
The preoperational stage is one of the many stages of a child's development. Piaget states that the most obvious change during the preoperational stage is the increase in a child's use language as a symbol or tool for communication. Though they can use language as symbols, they are still not able to form logic or transform ideas into understandable information.

Answer: The circulatory system or cardiovascular system
Explanation: The circulatory system allows the blood to circulate and permits oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, hormones and blood from and to the cells in the body. The system consist of heart, blood and blood vessels. There are five types of blood vessels: the arterioles; the capillaries; here exchange of chemical and water takes place between blood and tissues; the arteries; it carries blood away from the heart; the venules; and the veins, which carries blood from the capillaries back to the heart.
