Vomit centre is located in:
Correct answer: D. Medulla
- A. Pons
- B. Midbrain
- C. Cerebellum
- D. Medulla
Explanation
The medulla oblongata is the posterior part of the brainstem and plays a key role in controlling autonomic functions and reflexes, such as vomiting. This is why the vomit center is located here. In contrast, the pons is more involved with sleep and respiratory rhythms, the midbrain with sensory information processing, and the cerebellum with motor control and balance. None of these has a direct role in the vomiting reflex.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
