Does the human brain work with any other organs in the human body?
yes your brainstem/ medulla oblongata controls things like heartbeat breathing and digestion, cerebellum is the part that controls balance and muscle coordination, and the big part of brain cerebrum controls everything else
What side of the brain controls your breathing?
There is a part of the brain called the Medulla Oblongata which is responsible for breathing and vision. This is also known as the little brain. It is located at the very very back. It is a ver small part of the brain.
How is the medulla active while driving a car?
The Medulla is at the base of the brain stem and is the part of the brain that controls your heartbeat and breathing, etc. Therefore, when driving, the Medulla is active in ways such as controlling your heartbeat if a deer were to run in front of you for instance. Your heart rate would increase along with your respiration.
What part of the nervous system is responsible for heart rate breathing and trembling?
Heart rate and breathing are regulated by a part of the brain stem called the medulla oblongata. This part of the brain stem controls breathing,heartbeat and articulate speech. As far as trembling that is a result of the automatic nervous system activation. It can also increase heart rate and increase breathing rate but it is not a control for these three. This part is called the sympathetic half of the autonomic system, the other half is the parasympathetic. You can not live without the medulla. A blow to that area will kill.
What role does the brain stem play?
Because the brain stem is connected to the spinal cord, the brain stem receives nerve signals, such as touch, itch, vibration sensation, and pain. It regulates the central nervous system. It also regulates the heart, the respiratory system, and the sleep cycle. It is a vital organ.
What part of the brain controls the functions like breathing and heartbeat?
Brain cells
Connect the brain to the spinal cord and controls involuntary actions such as breathing blood pressure and heartbeat?
The part of the brain stem that controls heartbeat and breathing is called the medulla.
What part of the Human body is responsible for controlling breathing and heartbeat?
The Brain, specifically the brain stem and the central nervous system that controls any "unconscious" activities like breathing and pulse rate.
What part of the animal brain is responsible for basic functions such as breathing and pulse?
The brain stem, also called the central brain or primitive brain is responsible for the basic functions such as breathing and heartbeat.
Is the medulla oblongatta part of the cerebrum?
The the lower part of the brain stem - medulla controls the heartbeat and breathing and other non-voluntary functions.
What part of your brain controls breathing?
The brain stem is the part that controls breathing, it is the stem that allows the respiratory system to work and help you breathe
What controls life sustaining functions like breathing heartbeat and swallowing?
The Medulla,I don't that is true because in the biology book it says BRAIN STEM.
What part of the brain controls and breathing?
