medulla oblongata
Autonomic integrating centers are polysynaptic, meaning they involve multiple synapses and interneurons in processing and coordinating autonomic functions such as heart rate, digestion, and respiration. This complex network allows for modulation and control of autonomic responses based on various internal and external stimuli.
Heart rate, blood pressure regulation, digestion, temperature regulation, and bladder control would be most directly affected by a diseased autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system controls these involuntary bodily functions.
The autonomic reflex centers are located in the brainstem and spinal cord. The brainstem houses important autonomic centers such as the medulla oblongata and pons, which regulate functions like heart rate and respiration. The spinal cord contains reflex arcs that control activities like urination and defecation.
The medulla oblongata is the highest center of autonomic nervous system coordination in the brain. It regulates essential functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, and digestion through control of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
The autonomic nervous system does not control voluntary movements or skeletal muscle actions. It is responsible for regulating involuntary bodily functions, such as heart rate, digestion, and respiratory rate.

If they weren't autonomic you would have to think about controlling the things they control like blood pressure, heart rate, digestion, or anything automatic. Either you're head would explode from your brain having to be so big or it would overload itself and implode.
"Autonomic" functions are the functions of the body that occur involuntarily, that is, they happen and you have no control over them. Example of autonomic functions in human are the regulation of the heartbeat and the secretion of the hormones.

The hypothalamus influences the autonomic centers in the brain stem and the spinal cord. In this way it regulates many Visceral activites such as heart rate, blood pressure respiratory rate and motility of digestive tract
They are responsible for digestion. They are also part of the autonomic nervous system, so you do not have to consciously control them.

The medulla is found in the cardiovascular center of the brain and controls receptors in the body to control homeostasis (physical conditions such as temperature within the body).
The regulation of blood pressure is primarily autonomic, controlled by the autonomic nervous system. It involves reflexes that can adjust heart rate, blood vessel diameter, and volume of blood in circulation to maintain blood pressure within a normal range. Somatic control, which involves conscious effort, is not a significant factor in regulating blood pressure.
Because they are controlled by the autonomic nervous system which is responsible for involuntary control of the heart and digestion (as well as breathing and such). If you had to voluntarily control your digestion or heart rhythm you wouldn't survive very long.
