Medulla Oblongata
Most of the vital systems in our body are controlled in the brainstem.
There are three vital centers in the medulla which control the heartbeat, the rate of breathing, andthe diameter of the blood vessels. Centers that help coordinate swallowing, vomiting, hiccoughing,coughing, and sneezing are also located in the medulla.
This is called brainstem herniation and may result in coma or death due to pressure on the vital respiratory centers in the brainstem.
medulla oblongata
The lower part of the brain that contains centers more vital to life is the brainstem. It includes important structures such as the medulla oblongata, which controls essential functions like breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure. Additionally, the brainstem controls other vital activities such as swallowing, digestion, and body temperature regulation.
