It contains the primary respiratory center, which coordinates the muscles involved in breathing and helps maintain a steady breathing rhythm. The medulla oblongata receives input from various sensors in the body, such as the carotid bodies and aortic bodies, which detect changes in oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood. These sensors provide feedback to the respiratory center in the medulla oblongata, allowing it to adjust breathing rate and depth as needed to maintain proper oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the body.Rate this question:

This is because the nurse should be present during the collection of the specimen to ensure proper technique and to prevent contamination. Asking the client to call her later may result in the specimen not being collected in a timely manner, which can affect the accuracy of the test results.Rate this question:
