Answer:

The medulla connects the higher level of the brain to the spinal cord and controls simple motor reflexes.

Explanation:

The lower brainstem's medulla oblongata is a stem-like structure that connects to the spinal cord. The medulla oblongata plays an important role in controlling various basic functions of the autonomic nervous system, such as breathing, sweating, sneezing, blood pressure, etc. The medulla oblongata is also a key conduit for transmitting signals between the spinal cord and the higher parts of the brain. The medulla contains nerve fibers and nerve cells, which are enclosed by a layer known as myelin. Myelin is a substance that provides the white color to the tissue, protects it, and speeds up electrical signals to other parts.
