  • A. Nodal tissue: Responsible for generating and conducting electrical impulses that regulate heartbeat (e.g., SA node, AV node). 
  • B. Medulla oblongata: Contains the cardiovascular center, which controls heart rate via autonomic nerves. 

  • C. Adrenal medullary hormones: Adrenaline and noradrenaline increase heart rate and cardiac output. 

  • D. Adrenal cortical hormones: Mainly involved in metabolism and electrolyte balance, not direct cardiac regulation. 

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2: A, B, and C only.
