Question

While asleep, your heart keeps beating, you breathe in and out, your food is being digested, and you are making waste. What part of your brain is responsible for controlling all of this?

Answer 1

I believe that it is the brain stem

Step-by-step explanation:

The brain stem, at the bottom of the brain, connects the cerebrum with the spinal cord. It includes the midbrain, the pons, and the medulla. It controls fundamental body functions such as breathing, eye movements, blood pressure, heartbeat, and swallowing.
