Nervous System Activity

The brain stem controls automatic functions like respiration, balance, and coordination. It connects the brain to the spinal cord and controls automatic functions like increased heart rate and breathing, digestion, sweating, and dilation of the pupil. The three main parts of the brain stem are the midbrain, pons, and medulla.
