Detailed explanation-1: -Your medulla oblongata is the bottom-most part of your brain. Its location means it’s where your brain and spinal cord connect, making it a key conduit for nerve signals to and from your body. It also helps control vital processes like your heartbeat, breathing and blood pressure.
Detailed explanation-2: -The medulla is the inner part of your adrenal gland. It releases hormones that regulate your autonomic nervous system. This system controls involuntary functions you usually wouldn’t think about, like your heart rate.
Detailed explanation-3: -The brain stem sits beneath your cerebrum in front of your cerebellum. It connects the brain to the spinal cord and controls automatic functions such as breathing, digestion, heart rate and blood pressure.
Detailed explanation-4: -The medulla oblongata is the brain section responsible for conscious thought and the regulation of involuntary action.
