The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Question: Impulses originating in the part of the brain called the medulla would most directly affect which body structure?

a. A leg muscle

b. A ligament

c. An arm bone

d. The heart

Answer:

d. The heart

Explanation:

The medulla oblongata contains a number of reflex centers for regulating vital body functions such as heartbeat, breathing, and vasoconstriction. The medulla contains several nuclei, a collection of neuronal cell bodies.

For example, impulses originated in the cardiovascular center regulates the rate and force of the heartbeat and the diameter of blood vessels. Impulses from the cardiovascular center flow along sympathetic and parasympathetic neurons. An increase in sympathetic stimulation from the cardiovascular center of medulla increases heart rate and contractility while a decrease in sympathetic stimulation decreases heart rate and contractility.

Vanyuwa [196]
Step 1
Glucose enters glycolysis pathway and glycolysis yields pyruvate, then pyruvate undergoes processing.
step 2
Pyruvate processing ;releases acetylCOA which joins the citric acid cycle.
Step 3
The citric acid cycle yields 2ATP and CO2 and also releases NADH and FADH2 to electron transport chain and chemiosmosis.
Step 4
Chemiosmosis and electron transport chain yields 25 ATP molecules and H2O Oxygen enters electron transport chain and osmosis.

How would the inability to make saliva affect digestion?
irina [24]
I believe the inability to make saliva would affect digestion drastically. The first phase in the process of digestion comes with saliva - it breaks down some substances in your mouth, because it contains amylase which helps during this process. If it weren't for saliva, you probably wouldn't even be able to swallow food - and even if you did, it would be almost impossible to break it down in your body.
