Hello!
The brainstem that controls those functions, as well as others is known as the <span>medulla. The Medulla is the lower half of the brain. This stem is connected to the spinal cord, so if damaged will more than likely result in death/brain death,
I hope this helped!
I am, yours most sincerely,

Answer:
Living things may be distinguished from non-living things in their ability to carry on life processes such as movement, respiration, growth, responsiveness to environmental stimuli and reproduction. This view of living may be appropriate at this age but has some limitations and can lead to the alternative conceptions above. For example movement in plants is not apparent to students and consequently they may not consider plants living.
