Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which part of the brain controls all involuntary actions?
A
brain stem
B
cerebrum
C
cerebellum
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. And, it is a pathway for impulses travelling back and forth between the body and the rest of the brain.

Detailed explanation-2: -Both involuntary and voluntary actions are controlled by the same parts of the brain. Hindbrain and midbrain control involuntary actions like salivation, vomiting, etc. All the body’s voluntary actions are controlled by the motor cortex in the frontal lobe of the cerebrum.

Detailed explanation-3: -It is responsible for many vital functions of life, such as breathing, consciousness, blood pressure, heart rate, and sleep. The brainstem contains many critical collections of white and grey matter. The grey matter within the brainstem consists of nerve cell bodies and forms many important brainstem nuclei.
