The medulla oblongata connects the brain to the spinal cord and controls involuntary actions. In comatose patients, it's the only part of the brain that functions.
The brain and the spinal cord are connected by the brain stem. It is known as the medulla oblongata, pons, and the midbrain. It provides basic motor and sensory function to the body.
medulla
The part of the brain stem that controls heartbeat and breathing is called the medulla.
RETINA
Most of them are controlled by the spinal column.
The system of the body is made of the brain spinal cord and nerves is known as the nervous system. The nervous system controls the body's voluntary and involuntary actions and transmits signals between different parts of its body.
The portion of the brain, consisting of the medulla oblongata, pons Varolii, and midbrain, that connects the spinal cord to the forebrain and cerebrum.Read more: brain-stem
spinal cordautotomicspinal cord in the central nervous system controls reflex arc and reflex action.
No, the brain reads all signals and controls the entire body. The spinal cord is just a "path" for the neurons to take to get to the brain.
The cranial cavity contains the brain, pineal and hypophysis cerebri, parts of the cranial and spinal nerves, blood vessels, meninges and cerebrospinal fluid.
Heartbeat is under autonomic nervous system (involuntary) control, particularly by the Medulla Oblongata which is found in the brain stem. The brain stem is the portion that roughly connects the brain with the spinal cord. Anatomically, it is found below where the back part of your skull ends

The classic definition for an involuntary action would be a reflex. For example the doctor taps your knee and a monosynaptic (nerve to spinal cord and back again to the knee) contracts the muscles to cause the leg to kick. There are other interesting actions. Go into a room and make a loud noise and people turn to the noise. That is also a reflexive movement. Of course, coughing, sneezing, and the hick-ups are also involuntary actions.
