Detailed explanation-1: -The autonomic nervous system regulates certain body processes, such as blood pressure and the rate of breathing. This system works automatically (autonomously), without a person’s conscious effort. Disorders of the autonomic nervous system can affect any body part or process.
Detailed explanation-2: -These vital mechanisms are controlled by one of the brain’s most durable parts–the brain stem. The brain stem is an automatic control center for many such important involuntary actions of the body.
Detailed explanation-3: -The medulla oblongata is the rod-shaped part of the brain which is seen below the cerebrum, located near the cerebellum of the brain. It controls involuntary actions like heartbeat and breathing.
Detailed explanation-4: -Medulla controls the functioning of the internal organs by controlling their involuntary actions such as heart beat, breathing, blood pressure and peristaltic movements of the alimentary canal.
