The medulla partially oversees autonomic functions such as breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, and digestion. It also helps regulate reflexes such as coughing, sneezing, and swallowing.
The medulla oblongata deals with autonomic functions, such as breathing, heart rate and blood pressure.
Medulla OblongataThe medulla oblongata is the most inferior portion of the brain, and it is the connecting link with the spinal cord.
The term for the inner portion of an organ is called the "medulla." In various organs, the medulla can refer to the innermost part, such as the medulla of the adrenal gland or the medulla oblongata in the brain. This inner region often has distinct functions compared to the outer layers of the organ.
I'm not sure if it's possible for you to technically break your medulla oblongata, but damage to that part of the lower portion of your brainstem could make it difficult for you to live...at least comfortably. I say this because the medulla oblongata is responsible, primarily, for controlling one's heart rate, among other autonomic functions (meaning functions that are formed involuntarily and without your conscious control). Other functions that would be affected by a medulla oblongata that was damaged would include one's respiration, reflexes, defecation, blood pressure, swallowing, etc, as the nerve signals between the brain and spinal cord would no longer be working.

The hypothalamus is not located in the medulla. The medulla is located at the brain stem and is responsible for involuntary functions of the bodily organs, and the hypothalamus controls hunger, thirst, maintaining body temperature, and a few reproductive functions.
The medulla oblongata deals with autonomic functions, such as breathing, heart rate and blood pressure.
The Medulla controls the body functions such as breathing, digestion, blood flow and body temperature.
The Medulla controls the body functions such as breathing, digestion, blood flow and body temperature.
I believe you're thinking of the medulla oblongata, the bottom part of the brain, controlling involuntary functions.
The Medulla controls the body functions such as breathing, digestion, blood flow and body temperature.
The main functions of the medulla include regulating vital functions like breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure. It also plays a role in reflexes such as coughing, sneezing, and swallowing. Additionally, the medulla helps with transmitting signals between the brain and spinal cord.
The purpose of the medulla oblongata is to control ones autonomic functions. Autonomic functions are the body's functions that one cannot control themselves like breathing, heart functions, and sneezing.
The medulla is the lower (or caudal) part of the brainstem, which is just above the spinal cord. Within the medulla are the "vital centers" that control respiration, heart rate, and vascular pressures. The medulla also has many other functions as well.
