The medulla oblongata is the most vital part of the brain because it is the control center for breathing, blood pressure and heart beat among other involuntary body functions not under conscious control. Because these functions are necessary for human life, damage to the medulla oblongata can be fatal.
There is only one medulla oblongata in the brain. The medulla connects the brain and the spinal cord, and is the lower half of the brainstem.
