Brain is divided into three parts:Hind brain, Mid brain and Forebrain. On the basis of the structure of the brain it can be divided into:

Medulla Oblongata: It is the lowest part of the brain. This part of brain performs activity like breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure. This activities make it the vital centre of brain.

Pons :It connects medulla to mid brain. It receives the auditory signals. It contains nuclei affecting respiratory movement and facial expression.
