During the early days of neuroscience, neurosurgeons would cut away brain segments to see how it affected the person, which enabled them to learn the function of different brain segments. Assume that the surgeons were trying to learn how respiration worked in this same manner. Which body or brain parts, if removed, would affect respiration (inhalation and exhalation)?
Answer ; Medulla oblongata
Reason ; If a surgeon cut the brain stem of an individual which invovles removing of the person medulla oblongata present in this region of brain, the person whole process of respiration would be ceased, Because these are the controlling center for these process, which send required stimulus to the appropriate muscle that are involved in these process and cause them to contract and relax according to the individual needs. hence these parts of brain gets removed will affect the entire process of respiration.
