What is its function
Medulla oblongata

The medulla oblongata controls autonomic functions, and connects the higher levels of the brain to the spinal cord. It is also responsible for regulating several basic functions of the autonomic nervous system which include:
Respiration – chemoreceptors
Cardiac center – sympathetic, parasympathetic nervous system
Vasomotor center – baroreceptors
Reflex centers of vomiting, coughing, sneezing, and swallowing. These reflexes can be classified as "bulbar reflexes", including the, the pharyngeal reflex, the swallowing reflex (also known as the palatal reflex), and the masseter reflex.
