What part of the brain controls your heart beat?

Answer 1

The adrenal medulla is the part of the brain responsible for the release of adrenaline, when the adrenaline is released into the blood, the SAN is stimulated to work faster and increase your heart rate, this happens when playing sport or during your fight or flight response.

However, the heart is not controlled by your brain as it is a myogenic muscle (self-exciting) this means that if you were to remove the heart from a body it would continue to beat. The sino-atrial node is responsible for the excitation of the heart. :)

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

The heart rate is usually controlled by the muscles and the lungs and how fast it drains in energy and oxygen, so the brain only makes the choice to make the heart rate up by the cerebral hemispheres. The cerebellum regions controls motor movement to raise the blood pressure and heart rate and they have to work normally together to control the heart rate.

Answer 3

the brain stem controls breathing and heart rate

Answer 4

The medulla oblongata regulates heart rate. The medulla oblongata also regulates other involuntary things like breathing and blood pressure.

Answer 5

The medulla oblongata controls heart rate. It also controls other involuntary actions like breathing and blood pressure and blinking.
