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.

What is a respiratory control center?
Respiratory control centers are located in the medulla and the pons. In the medulla the ventral respiratory group contains rhythm generators whose output drives respiration. Also in the medulla, the neurons of the dorsal respiratory group integrate peripheral sensory input and modify the rhythms generated by the VRG. The pons respiratory centers interact with the medulla centers to smooth the breathing pattern. The respiratory center (RC), itself, is located in the medulla oblongata, the lowermost portion of the brainstem.
Includes the medulla and pons?
The brain stem contains three parts. They are the midbrain, pons, and medulla.
The nerve plexus that contains neurons that are primarily concerned with regulating the motility within the GI tract is the plexus?
myenteric
Which organ system contains your mouth?
The Digestive System and also the Respiratory System.
The normal rate and depth of breathing is established in centers located in the?
The medulla oblongata, which is the most inferior part of the brainstem, contains the nuclei that regulate our rate and depth of breathing.
What contains reflex centers involved in regulation respiratory rhythm in conjunction with lower brain stem centers?
The Pons

What center is located in pons?
pneumotaxic pontine respirator group (PRG)
What is pons in the brain steam?
The pons is a structure located in the brainstem that serves as a bridge connecting different parts of the brain. It plays a role in regulating sleep, breathing, and controlling movements. It also contains nerve fibers that transmit signals between the cerebellum and the cerebral cortex.
Which part of the brainstem contains the cerebral peduncles?
ventral part of the midbrain, near the pons
What is the diencephalon home to?
It contains all parts of the brain except for the cerebrum, cerebellum and brainstem.

Where is the brainstem located?
The brainstem contains ascending and descending nerve pathways that carry sensory input and motor output information to and from higher brain regions
What contains autonomic centers regulating heart rate?
Medulla.
Contains autonomic centers regulating heart rate?
Medulla.
Which body system contains the trachea?
The trachea is the airway in the respiratory system.
Includes the medulla and pons?
The brain stem contains three parts. They are the midbrain, pons, and medulla.
