Questions and Answers

What is the primary function of the medullary center in the medulla oblongata?

  • Regulating heart rate
  • Maintaining body temperature
  • Controlling voluntary muscle movements
  • Influencing respiration (correct)

Which type of hypoxia is characterized by the presence of a toxic agent preventing the tissue from effectively using oxygen?

  • Ischemic hypoxia
  • Hypoxic hypoxia
  • Histotoxic hypoxia (correct)
  • Anemic hypoxia

What happens in anemic hypoxia?

  • Oxygen deficiency at the tissue level
  • Blood flow to tissues is reduced
  • Hypercapnia stimulation
  • Decreased ability of hemoglobin to transport oxygen (correct)
