Answer:
Answer:
The brainstem is a very small component of the brain, making up only around 2.6 percent of its total weight. It has the critical role of regulating cardiac and respiratory function, helping to control heart rate and breathing rate.
Explanation:
The brain stem controls the flow of messages between the brain and the rest of the body, and it also controls basic body functions such as breathing, swallowing, heart rate, blood pressure, consciousness, and whether one is awake or sleepy. The brain stem consists of the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata.
