Heart rate and blood pressure is controlled mainly from the cardiac center and the vasomotor center in the medulla respectively. Ventilation is controlled from centers in the medulla and pons. Both medulla and pons are part of the brain stem. In addition, there are also other peripheral baroreceptors (BP control), and chemoreceptors (ventilation rate control) involved.Vital centers controlling things like heartrate, ventilation, blood pressure are located in what?
Brain stem
