A special neural centre that can moderate cardiac function is located in

The special neural center responsible for moderating cardiac function is located in the medulla oblongata, specifically within an area called the cardiovascular center. The cardiovascular center, which consists of both the cardiac center and the vasomotor center, is involved in regulating heart rate, cardiac contractility, and blood vessel diameter to help maintain blood pressure and blood flow throughout the body. It receives input from various sources, including baroreceptors (pressure receptors) and chemoreceptors (chemical receptors), and sends signals to the heart and blood vessels via the autonomic nervous system to adjust cardiovascular activity as needed in response to changes in the body's internal and external environment.
