The capacity of the backbone is to secure the spinal line, yet it additionally needs to take into consideration developments, for example, twisting around or turning from side to side. The a wide range of fragments of bone consider this bowing or bending significantly more than a solitary bone stretching out from the neck to the coccyx could. The circles of ligament serve two or three capacities. One, they help to interface each of the individual vertebral bones and avoid separation. Two, they keep the crushing of bone on bone that would happen if the vertebral bones were in coordinate contact.

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.
