Ventilation occurs under the control of the autonomic nervous system from parts of the brain stem, the medulla oblongata and the pons. This area of the brain forms the respiration regulatory center, a series of interconnected brain cells within the lower and middle brain stem which coordinate respiratory movements. The sections are the pneumotaxic center, theapneustic center, and the dorsal and ventral respiratory groups. This section is especially sensitive during infancy, and the neurons can be destroyed if the infant is dropped and/or shaken violently. The result can be death due to "shaken baby syndrome".
Brain stem.
medulla oblongata
The medulla oblongata and the pons are the parts of the brain that control breathing. The medulla oblongata detects oxygen and carbon dioxide levels and controls the muscles in the heart, lungs, and diaphragm. The pons controls inhalation and exhalation speed.
The brain stem stem could be called the "primitive part of the brain" because it was the first brain structure to evolve, and is responsible for our basic vital functions like breathing and heartbeat.
The brainstem, specifically the medulla oblongata, is responsible for regulating automatic bodily functions such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure. This area of the brain controls essential functions to maintain life without conscious effort.
The brain stem is the part that controls breathing, it is the stem that allows the respiratory system to work and help you breathe

Brain cells
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.
Brain stem.
The brain stem controls these functions
The Medulla Oblongata
It is the medulla oblongata that controls swallowing. It also controls functions such as breathing and blood pressure. It is the lower portion of the brainstem.
The part of the brain stem that controls heartbeat and breathing is called the medulla.
The part of the brain that controls heartbeat and breathing is called the medulla oblongata, located in the brainstem. It regulates these vital functions through the autonomic nervous system without conscious effort.
