Question

The final football game of the season is here and Tobias is ready for the game. He's energized and can barely sit still. He's excited and his heart is racing a million miles a minute. What part of the brain is responsible for Tobias's increased heart rate?

Answer 1

Medulla

Step-by-step explanation:

The medulla is responsible for our involuntary actions, one of which is our heart rate.

Involuntary action means we do not intentionally do it ourselves; it is one of our unconscious processes, such as breathing.
