Question

Swallowing is regulated by which area of the central nervous system (cns)? pons hypothalamus cerebellum medulla oblongata

Answer 1

I believe the correct answer is the last option. It is the medulla oblangata that is responsible of the regulation of the swallowing action. It is found at the upper portion of the spinal cord and the lower portion of the brain stem. The functions involved of this part are involuntary or are done with the unconscious mind.
