thalamus
The brainstem is the structure that links the upper and lower centers of the brain. It connects the cerebrum (upper brain) to the spinal cord (lower brain) and is responsible for basic life functions such as breathing, heartbeat, and blood pressure regulation.
The pons serves as the conduction pathway between higher and lower brain centers. It also contains nuclei for cranial nerves 5 (trigeminal), 6 (abducens), and 7 (facial).
The lower part of the brain that contains centers more vital to life is the brainstem. It includes important structures such as the medulla oblongata, which controls essential functions like breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure. Additionally, the brainstem controls other vital activities such as swallowing, digestion, and body temperature regulation.
Medulla OblongataThe medulla oblongata is the most inferior portion of the brain, and it is the connecting link with the spinal cord.
They are fibres which radiate from thalamus and metathalamus to the cerebral cortex. They include:Anterior thalamic radiationsuperior thalamic (sensory) radiationposterior thalamic radiation, which consists of = optic + auditory radiations
The brainstem is the structure that links the upper and lower centers of the brain. It connects the cerebrum (upper brain) to the spinal cord (lower brain) and is responsible for basic life functions such as breathing, heartbeat, and blood pressure regulation.
The medulla oblongata, located in the brain stem, contains reflex centers that are involved in regulating the respiratory rhythm in conjunction with other lower brain stem centers. These centers help coordinate the muscles involved in breathing to ensure proper oxygen intake and carbon dioxide removal.

The part of the brain responsible for eating are appetite centers of the amygdala and hypothalamus. The licking reflex is seen only certain animals but the centers are located in the medulla oblongata in the lower brainstem.

The medical dictionary does not have a definition for the word relayed. The closest word to it is a 'relay nucleus' which is a part of the brain that relays stimuli from the lower receptor centers to matching cortical centers.
The cerebellum is the lower brain structure responsible for controlling and coordinating fine motor movements. It helps to maintain posture, balance, and smooth execution of voluntary movements.
The medulla oblongata is responsible for breathing as well as heart rate. It is located in the lower half of the brainstem, and is considered to be one of the oldest (earliest developed) brain areas. It is unconsciously controlled.
The part of the brain responsible for eating are appetite centers of the amygdala and hypothalamus. The licking reflex is seen only certain animals but the centers are located in the medulla oblongata in the lower brainstem.
The cerebral cortex is not directly involved in producing reflex actions. Reflex actions are controlled at the spinal cord or lower levels of the brain without involvement of higher brain centers like the cerebral cortex.
