Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The medulla's respiratory center automatically controls the depth and rate of respirations without requiring a person's conscious thought. The pons has centers that work with the medulla to produce a normal breathing rhythm. The cerebral cortex allows some voluntary control over breathing when talking, singing, eating, or changing the rate of breathing. You can even stop breathing for a minute or two by holding your breath. The medulla, however, will take over control eventually. Chemoreceptors in the medulla stimulate the muscles of respiration primarily in response to changes in carbon dioxide levels.
