The part of the brain that controls breathing is primarily located in the brainstem, specifically in the medulla oblongata and pons. The medulla oblongata contains the respiratory center, which regulates the basic rhythm and depth of breathing. The pons helps to fine-tune breathing by coordinating signals between the respiratory center and the muscles involved in breathing, such as the diaphragm and intercostal muscles.

BeauOh, dude, the part of the brain that controls breathing is the medulla oblongata. It's like the boss of your respiratory system, making sure you keep inhaling and exhaling without even having to think about it. So, yeah, next time you take a deep breath, just give a little nod of thanks to your medulla oblongata for keeping you alive and stuff.
The medulla oblongata. I'll give you a source because I wanted to double check myself. [And I shouldn't have, I would have had the first correct answer.]
"The medulla oblongata is the lower portion of the brainstem. It deals with autonomic functions, such as breathing and blood pressure. The cardiac center is the part of the medulla oblongata responsible for controlling the heart rate."

What part of your brain controls breathing?
The brain stem is the part that controls breathing, it is the stem that allows the respiratory system to work and help you breathe
What part of the brain controlls breathing?
The part of the brain that controls breathing in the Medulla Oblongata which is located in the Hind Brain ( right on top of the spinal cord). Other functions of the Medulla Oblongata are -Regulates heart rate and diameter of blodd vessels -Acts as a passage /road between nerve tracts in the spinal cord and the upper brain. Without the Medulla Oblongata we would die.
What part of the brain controls your senses and thinking?
cerebral cortex
Which cell part controls the cell's activities?
I think you are talking about the nucleus, which is the "brain" of the cell. It controls everything that cell does.
Which is the largest portion of the mature brain?
The largest and most important part of the brain is the cerebrum.it controls many things like memory,speech,intelligents. However, the most important part in terms of survival has to be the Hypothalamus. It is the part of the brain which controls primal functions such as hunger/thirst, regulation of body tempurature, heartbeat, etc.
