The answer is the second one: The medulla.

Explanation for each option:

  1. The cerebellum: The cerebellum is primarily responsible for coordinating voluntary movements, balance, and posture. It does not directly control the smooth and cardiac muscles of the cardiovascular system.

  2. The medulla: The medulla oblongata, part of the brainstem, plays a crucial role in autonomic functions, including the regulation of heart rate and blood vessel diameter. It is directly involved in controlling the smooth and cardiac muscles of the cardiovascular system.

  3. The brainstem: While the brainstem includes the medulla, it is a broader structure that also contains the pons and midbrain. The specific control of cardiovascular functions is primarily attributed to the medulla.

  4. The pons: The pons is involved in several functions, including the regulation of breathing, but it is not the primary center for controlling the cardiovascular system's smooth and cardiac muscles.

In summary, the medulla is the part of the brain responsible for directing the smooth and cardiac muscles of the cardiovascular center.

The sensory nervous system contains both PNS and CNS components. The somatic nervous system component of the motor nervous system conducts impulses from the CNS to skeletal muscles. The visceral sensory component of the sensory nervous system is under voluntary control. The motor nervous system contains both CNS and PNS components.

You are called for a 75 -year-old-female who is reported to normally be a very healthy, active person. Today her husband reports she is tired, weak, sweaty, and has a gray color. She is rubbing her sternum but claims she does not have any chest pain. She states she is too tired to breathe and would just like to be left alone. This leads you to believe this patient may be experiencing Gastritis. A stroke. A viral illness. A heart attack.

Yang Bai is investing 10,000 and wants a portfolio that is 80% stocks and 20% bonds. She has decided to accomplish this using just 2 exchange-traded funds (ETFs): a stock ETF trading for 50 per share and a bond ETF trading for 100 for share. What should she do to meet her asset allocation goal?
