A person cannot live without a brainstem. A person's heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing all originate from 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, is composed of the tegmentum and the tectum. These parts regulate body movement, vision and hearing. The brainstem portion of the pon is located at the back of the brain and connects to the cerebellum to assist with posture and other body movements. The pon also gives a person the level of consciousness necessary for sleep. The last section might be the most important part. 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 these parts and functions of the body? The mind always relates in 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 debate about mind, body and soul can be summarized by asking the question of which of these is responsible. Is each of these different? Are they the same? Or how they do it
