The brain. The heart is just a pump.
no the heart rate is controlled by medulla oblagonta
the brain stem is what controlls the heart rate, respiration and such.
The adrenal medulla is the part of the brain responsible for the release of adrenaline, when the adrenaline is released into the blood, the SAN is stimulated to work faster and increase your heart rate, this happens when playing sport or during your fight or flight response. However, the heart is not controlled by your brain as it is a myogenic muscle (self-exciting) this means that if you were to remove the heart from a body it would continue to beat. The sino-atrial node is responsible for the excitation of the heart. :) Hope this helps. Steph :)
the brain
heart rate is controlled by hormones as well as the autonomous nervous system. adrenaline, a hormone increases heart rate while the sympathetic nervous system decreases heart rate. Medulla Oblongata
Respiratory centre in the medulla (brain)
Respiration in humans is controlled by medulla, which is a part of the brain. The medulla is responsible for the provision of adequate amount of oxygen for every activity. Medulla sends signals to our body to provide oxygen for every activity like sleeping, eating, walking, exercising etc. Human brain measures the level of carbon dioxide in blood and makes necessary adjustments to balance the amount of oxygen and controls respiration rate. Breathing is controlled by the brain but it can be controlled voluntarily also like holding ones breath. But this is just temporary and the medulla takes charge again after a few minutes to restore the breathing.
Heart rate is controlled by the cardiovascular -regulatory systme which is part of the autonomic nerve system.
