A person cannot live without a brain stem. A person's heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing all originate in the brainstem. The parts of the brain that make up the brainstem are the midbrain, pons, and medulla. The midbrain, also known as the midbrain, includes the tegmentum and tectum. These parts regulate body movements, vision and hearing. The brainstem portion of the pons lies in the hindbrain and connects the cerebellum to facilitate posture and other body movements. The pon also gives a person a level of consciousness necessary for sleep. The last section might be the most important piece. The medulla is the section of the brainstem that maintains vital body functions such as a person's heart rate and breathing. So what about a person's mind? How does the mind relate to all of these body parts and functions? The mind is always linked to mental processes. It also works through a person's thinking and consciousness. The brain, on the other hand, is about matter and different parts that all have roles and responsibilities. The long-standing debate over mind, body, and soul can be summed up by asking the question of which of them is in control. Is each of these different? Are they the same? Or how do they do it
