Can you tell me which controls breathing and a variety of reflexes ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Autonomic process: Breathing occurs without conscious effort due to sensors in the brainstem near the fourth ventricle, and the diaphragm contracts secondary to signals from the phrenic nerve on both right and left.
