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.

Guard cells use osmotic pressure to open and close stomata, allowing plants to regulate the amount of water and solutes within them. In order for plants to produce energy and maintain cellular function, their cells undergo the highly intricate process of photosynthesis
Terms matched with the right definitions.
1. An organism that can make its own food – Autotroph
2. A symbiotic relationship between two organisms in which one species benefits and no effect is apparent to the other species – Commensalism.
3. A cell that has a membrane-bound nucleus and/or organelles as its major characteristic -Eukaryote.
4. The study of organisms that are too small to be seen with the naked eye - Microbiology.
5. A disease-causing organism - A germ pathogen.
6. A one- or few-celled organism with chromosomes; may have characteristics of both animals and plants – Protist.
An autotroph is an organism that produces its own food from simple substances available in its environment. Autotrophs usually use inorganic chemical reactions or light energy in producing their food and are usually the producers in a food chain. Examples of autotrophs are plants and algae.
Commensalism is a type of relationship between organisms of two species where one organism benefits from the relationship and the other organism is not affected by it (neither benefits nor harmed).
