Coughing and sneezing are controlled by $\bf\underline\mathfrak\blue{Medulla\: Oblangata}$

$\bf\underline\mathfrak\blue{More\: Information :}$

• Reflexes analagous to sneezing such as coughing, as well as respiration, are probably mediated by the same inspiratory and expiratory neurones but are activated by different nuclei in the brain stem.

• These neurones project to various brain stem nuclei though the vagus, phrenic, and intercostals nerves.

$\bf\underline\mathfrak\blue{Medulla\: Oblangata}$

• The medulla oblongata or simply medulla is a long stem-like structure which makes up the lower part of the brainstem.

• It is anterior and partially inferior to the cerebellum.

• It is a cone-shaped neuronal mass responsible for autonomic (involuntary) functions, ranging from vomiting to sneezing.
