Answer 2

Answer:

Medulla oblongata. (Ans. A)

Explanation:

Medulla oblongata is present in the brain, in front of the cerebellum. It controls the number of functions in the body. It helps to transfer messages to the thalamus & spinal cord, from the body.

Medulla oblongata helps to regulate breathing, blood pressure, heart rate, sneezing, and digestive activities. Medulla oblongata part of the brain is a center for respiration & circulation. Sensory & nerve cells from the midbrain & forebrain travel through the medulla. It receives its blood supply from many arteries (including anterior spinal, posterior inferior cerebellar and the vertebral artery's)
