Yes, it is where the spine enters the brain and includes the medulla oblongata, the pons and the tegmentum. Parts of the basal ganglia are also present in the brain stem. Respiration and heart function is controlled by the medulla. The pons is the relay of motor system impulses from the body and brain through the cerebellum. The basal ganglia is involved in motor function initiation and the inhibition of unnecessary motor impulses.
