The brain stem connects the brain to the spinal cord, so that the brain can send messages through the cord to the rest of the body. The functioning of the body is severely compromised if the spinal cord connections are severed.
The brain stem connects the brain to the spinal column.
The spinal cord.
Spinal Cord
There is a cranial nerve called the vestibulocochlear nerve which connects your inner ear to your brain stem.
The Peripheral Nervouse System
The medull oblongata is connected directly above the begining of the brain stem and below the pons, it is part of what is known as the lower brain. It also contains the heart control centre
The spinal cord is attached to the brain stem located at the base of the brain. This stem is connected to the cerebellum.

Yes, as everything else just connects to the brain.
The brain region that seems to have the oldest evolutionary history is the brain stem. The brain stem is located at the brain's base and is joined to the spinal cord. The brain stem contains the midbrain, pons and medulla oblongata.
Yes, it is basically the base of the brain; it is where the brain starts. The brain stem extends from the spinal cord into the brain and is the oldest (most primitive) part of the brain. Over time, the brain has developed on top of the brain stem to come to what it is today (in modern humans).

The brain stem stem could be called the "primitive part of the brain" because it was the first brain structure to evolve, and is responsible for our basic vital functions like breathing and heartbeat.
