Major centers concerned with autonomic control of breathing, blood pressure, heart rate, and digestive activities are located in the
A) medulla oblongata.
B) pons.
C) midbrain.
D) diencephalons.
E) cerebellum.

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)
