The Medulla Oblongata
The medulla oblongata helps control the body's autonomic functions (things you don't need to think about to perform) like respiration, digestion and heart rate. Also acts as a relay station for nerve signals going to/from the brain

The medulla oblongata, specifically the pre-Botzinger complex, is responsible for the secondary control of respiration. This area helps regulate the rhythm and depth of breathing in response to changes in oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood.
The pons plays a key role in regulating sleep, respiration, swallowing, bladder control, and transmitting messages between different parts of the brain. It also helps coordinate movements and balance.
the brain
You use your mind to think with. The brain is a nervous control system that helps the mind and spirit to control the body.
An inhibitory center in the brain is a region where neurons are activated to suppress or inhibit the firing of other neurons. This helps regulate brain activity and control information processing, allowing for coordination of different brain functions. Dysfunction in inhibitory centers can lead to neurological disorders and cognitive impairments.
your brain
The hypothalamus is the portion of the brain that helps to control the endocrine system.
The brainstem, specifically the medulla oblongata, plays a crucial role in controlling the autonomic nervous system, which regulates involuntary functions such as heart rate, respiration, and digestion. It also helps to coordinate sensory information and motor functions throughout the body.
Mainly your frontal lobe.
Cerebrum.
The brain is the control centre of the central nervous system, responsible for perception, attention, memory, emotion and action.
