Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The posterior part of the brain that continues with the spinal cord is the brain stem. The brain stem is composed of the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata of the hindbrain. Breathing is controlled by pons and medulla. Some emotional states such as laughter, fear, crying, and sighing can alter one’s breathing.
