The lower extension of the brain where it connects to the spinal cord Neurological functions located in the brain stem include those necessary for survival (breathing, heart rate) and for arousal (being awake and alert)
part of the brain that connects the brain's right and left hemispheres with the spinal cord It controls non-thinking commands such as breathing and blood pressure regulation
The oldest part of the human brain sharing many features in common with the reptilian brain Basic functions such as heart rate and breathing are controlled here
Is the lower portion of the brain composed of the "upper spinal cord", the "medula", the "pons" and the "reticular formation" it starts out sensory information and regulates survival functions
The lowest and innermost portion of the brain The brain stem contains centers that regulate internal organic functions, arousal of the nervous system as a whole, and elementary sensory motor processing
The lowest and innermost portion of the brain The brain stem contains nuclei that regulate internal organic functions, arousal of the nervous system as a whole, and elementary sensory-motor processing
The portion of the brain closest to the spinal cord It consists of the medulla, pons, and midbrain and controls many of the involuntary functions that keep us alive
The relatively primitive brain structure that starts where our spinal cord enters our head Neurons within the brain stem control basic functions such as heart rate and breathing
The lowest and innermost portion of the brain The barin stem constains centers that regulate internal organ functions, arousal of the nervous system as a whole and elementary sensory-motor processing
The structures lying near the core of the brain; essentially all of the brain with the exception of the cerebrum and the cerebellum and their dependent parts
the part of the central nervous system which houses the nerve centers of the head as well as the centers for respiration, and heart control It extends from the base of the brain to the spinal cord
