medium Q14 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Understand involuntary control
Involuntary actions like heartbeat and breathing are controlled by the medulla oblongata, part of the brainstem.Step 2: Differentiate brain parts
Cerebrum controls voluntary actions, cerebellum controls coordination, spinal cord transmits signals but does not control involuntary functions.Final Answer:
Medulla Oblongata → Option DQuick Check:
Brain part controlling involuntary actions = Medulla Oblongata ✅
Quick Trick: Medulla controls vital involuntary functions.
Common Mistakes:
- Mistaking cerebrum or spinal cord as controllers of involuntary actions.
