its actually part of the nervous system and it controls all the involuntary parts of the body such as vomiting, sneezing, coughing, swallowing, breathing, heart beat, blood pressure, wakefulness, attention, reactions, and other important involuntary functions.

All these things can keep u alive: heres how:

Ex.

Let me tell you how all these functions are so important to survival. Vomiting, if you're choking and can't cough it up, example, chocking on a pretzel. Coughing, if you're on a date, choking on a pretzel, but don't want to puke, coughing will dislodge, and keep it where he/she can't see it. Wakefulness and attention are easy, think about driving. Sneezing, if something gets in your nose that shouldn't be there like pollen or pet fur, smoke, and even a viral infection. So sneezing gets rid of all those things that shouldn't be there and gets rid of a viral infection, which nobody wants. So now I just saved your life five times. Your welcome.

Which part of the brain controls The cardiac and respiratory centers for the body?

Lots of areas of the nervous system are. The brainstem (medulla) helps control heart rate, but the heartbeat itself doesn't depend on the nervous system at all.Autonomic nervous system controls circulation by acting on muscles that surround arteries, and smaller vessels.One of the things that influences which capillaries are open is body temperature, which is controlled in a part of the brain called the hypothalamus.


What system is the medulla oblangata a part of?

The medulla oblongata is the the most caudal portion of the brain step just superior to and continuous with the spinal cord proper. It is part of the nervous system.


Contains autonomic centers which regulate blood pressure and respiratory rhythm as well as coughing and sneezing centers?

The autonomic nervous system is controlled by nerve centers in the spinal cord and brain stem. It is also influenced by the midbrain and cortex, and the cognitive centers affect reactions such as blushing.Regarding the actual brain structure that contains autonomic centers regulating heart rate, respiration and other visceral activities, the answer is the medulla.*The medulla also is mainly composed of fiber tracts.


Do the medulla oblongata contro the aggression in the human brain?

The medulla oblongata is not directly responsible for controlling aggression in the human brain. Aggression is regulated by various brain areas, such as the amygdala and frontal cortex, which are involved in emotional processing and behavioral control. The medulla oblongata primarily regulates involuntary functions like breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure.


What regulates visceral activities and involuntary response?

Both visceral activities and involuntary response are controlled by a specific part of the brain know as the Mendullu although this part of the brain sends signals to the Central Nervous System (CNS) which has overall control of the body's visceral activities.

How does the brain work with the circulatory system?

Answer 1 The limbic system (top of the brain stem including the medulla and pons which is located at the base of the brain) deals with (or regulates) breathing and heart rate. Answer 2 No doubt. I agree with the medulla oblongata. Answer 3 It's the Medulla.


Part of brain that controls breathing?

The part of the brain that controls breathing is primarily located in the brainstem, specifically in the medulla oblongata and pons. The medulla oblongata contains the respiratory center, which regulates the basic rhythm and depth of breathing. The pons helps to fine-tune breathing by coordinating signals between the respiratory center and the muscles involved in breathing, such as the diaphragm and intercostal muscles.


How does the respiratory system and the nervous system work together?

Respiratory system is controlled by Nervous system.That isthe major relation between them. Respiration is involuntary IE we cannot control it by our will.The Autonomous nervous system controls it. Medulla oblongata which is a part of the brain and nervous system controls such actions
