Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The medulla controls reflexes through the cranial nerves, which originate in the brain stem and control many important functions such as heart rate, breathing, swallowing, and digestion. The midbrain and forebrain are structures higher up in the brain that have different functions, and skeletal nerves are controlled by the spinal cord rather than the medulla.
