Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The brainstem is located just above the spinal cord and controls vital functions such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure. The amygdala is involved in emotions such as fear and aggression, but it is not located in this area of the brain. The corpus callosum is a structure that connects the two hemispheres of the brain, and the brain bulb is not a recognized anatomical term.
