What part of the brain controls basic life support functions?
The brain stem, which consists of the midbrain, pons, and medulla, ot medulla oblongata - which keeps you breathing and your heart beating in proper rhythm. If your heat needs to slow down the heart is influenced by via cranial nerve X, the Vagus nerve.
What is the brainstem used for?
The brainstem provides the main motor and sensory innervation to the face and neck via the cranial nerves. The brainstem also plays an important role in the regulation of cardiac and respiratory function.
What contains autonomic center that regulate blood pressure?
The medulla oblongata. Blood pressure is monitored via baroreceptors. When BP is high, baroreceptors in the carotid sinus and aortic arch is stimulated, stimulating them to fire off action potential via afferent nerve (vagus and glossopharyngeal) to the medulla. This inbhits the sympathetic and activates the parasympathetic nervous system. Activation of the parasympathetic nervous sytem means that the vagus nerve produces more ACh to decrease the heart rate. Inactivation of the sympathetic means that the cardioaccelatory and vasomotor nerves are inhibited, therefore, heart rate will decrease and vasodilation.
How is the nose connected?
The nose is connected to the nasal bone protrusion via flexible cartilage surrounded by tissue and covered in skin.
Why can you taste your eye drops?
The eyes, ears, nose and throat are all connected via tubes.
How are midbrain and oblogata connected?
Midbrain and Oblogata are connected at least via the internet. P.S. - The Midbrain serves as the audiovisual highway of the brain connected to the Medulla Oblongata by the Pons. Oblogata is the creative activities on MySpace, Facebook, Oblogata etc.

How is the cerebellum physicaly connected to the brainstem?
The cerebellum connects to the brainstem via the pons, which are just above the medulla oblongota.
How does your brainstem help you breathe?
The brain stem is divided into three section known as: midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongatta. The medulla is referred to as the cardiac and respiratory centers of the body. It is in the medulla oblongatta that the basic control of the external respiration that occurs in the lungs. The medulla sends a signal via the phrenic nerve that control the involuntary portion of breathing. Breathing is a process that is unique in the body in that it is controlled both by voluntary and involuntary mechanisms.
What are the main parts of the human brain?
One answer is: Forebrain, Midbrain, and Hindbrain.Another is: Cerebrum, Cerebellum, Brainstem. The first is more technically correct, in part because it includes the second parts, and also because it relates to the development of the brain, which means it categorizes sub-parts according to common origin.The cerebrum is divided into two hemispheres, each containing 4 lobes: the frontal lobe, the temporal lobe, the parietal lobe, and the occipital lobe; there is another hidden structure, sometimes referred to as a lobe, called the insula, or insular lobe, also.The cerebellum is a pair of structures which hang under the back of the cerebrum and connect to it via the pons, a structure in the brainstem.The brainstem is a continuation of the spinal cord which enters the brain at the middle-bottom of the brain; it's made up of the medulla oblongata, pons, and midbrain.

How does brainstem and spinal cord connect?
What a fascinating question. The answer is that there really is not part of the brain that connects with the spinal cord. The brain and the spinal cord are really the same thing only in different locations. They are both made of the same tissue, only arranged differently. The brain has more gray matter to do more processing, and the spinal cord has more white matter to transmit information quickly. In essence, they both have cognitive abilities because they both contain interneurons. Wow! Imagine that! Your spinal cord can think!
How Are Bones And Musceles Connected To Each Other?
Muscles are connected to bones via tendons.
What sea is the Persian gulf connected to?
