Verified step by step guidance

Begin by understanding the role of the medulla oblongata in the brain. It is part of the brainstem and is responsible for autonomic functions that are crucial for survival.

Identify the key functions associated with the medulla oblongata. These include regulating vital processes such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure.

Recognize that the medulla oblongata contains specific centers that manage these autonomic functions. The respiratory center controls the rate and depth of breathing, while the cardiovascular center regulates heart rate and blood vessel diameter.

Differentiate between sensory processing centers and autonomic centers. The auditory and visual processing centers are located in other parts of the brain, such as the temporal and occipital lobes, respectively, and are not associated with the medulla oblongata.

Conclude that the functional centers associated with the medulla oblongata are the respiratory center and the cardiovascular center, as they are directly involved in autonomic regulation.
