Yes it controls the breathing. cells that are in the automonic nervous system from the Medulla oblongata send messages to the diaphragm to contract, letting/forcing you breathe. cells in its breathing center monitor the amout of carbon dioxide in your blood. when the level gets low they tell you to beathe. The breathing proccess is mostly volantary (meaning you control it) but in some cases when the carbon dioxide level is dangerously low, your body takes over and forces you to beathe.
