Answer 2

medulla oblangata controls all the involuntary functions like respiration, breathing, digestion. when it gets injured all the functions come to a stop. it means that the heart stops pummping blood, lungs stop exchange of gases etc. and all of this results in death.It controls various autonomic functions such as respiration, heart rate, blood pressure etc. When it gets damaged body will not be able to perform all these functions which will prove fatal.
