The medulla oblongata connects the brain to the spinal cord and controls involuntary actions. In comatose patients, it's the only part of the brain that functions.
The part of the brain stem that controls heartbeat and breathing is called the medulla.

The system of the body is made of the brain spinal cord and nerves is known as the nervous system. The nervous system controls the body's voluntary and involuntary actions and transmits signals between different parts of its body.
The portion of the brain, consisting of the medulla oblongata, pons Varolii, and midbrain, that connects the spinal cord to the forebrain and cerebrum.Read more: brain-stem
No, the brain reads all signals and controls the entire body. The spinal cord is just a "path" for the neurons to take to get to the brain.
Heartbeat is under autonomic nervous system (involuntary) control, particularly by the Medulla Oblongata which is found in the brain stem. The brain stem is the portion that roughly connects the brain with the spinal cord. Anatomically, it is found below where the back part of your skull ends
The peripheral nervous system consists of all the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord. It connects the central nervous system to the rest of the body and controls voluntary movements as well as involuntary functions like digestion and heart rate.
True. The nervous system controls and regulates all parts of the body by transmitting electrical signals between the brain, spinal cord, and various other nerves. It coordinates voluntary and involuntary actions, including movement, sensation, and organ function.
Yes, the cerebellum connects the cerebrum and the spinal cord.FalseFalse
The cranial cavity contains the brain, pineal and hypophysis cerebri, parts of the cranial and spinal nerves, blood vessels, meninges and cerebrospinal fluid.

The classic definition for an involuntary action would be a reflex. For example the doctor taps your knee and a monosynaptic (nerve to spinal cord and back again to the knee) contracts the muscles to cause the leg to kick. There are other interesting actions. Go into a room and make a loud noise and people turn to the noise. That is also a reflexive movement. Of course, coughing, sneezing, and the hick-ups are also involuntary actions.
