Solution
Heart :
The brain, specifically the medulla oblongata, regulates heart function.
Furthermore, the brain communicates with the heart via the autonomic nervous system's parasympathetic and sympathetic branches.
The brain stem is located beneath the cerebrum and in front of the cerebellum.
It connects the brain and spinal cord and regulates automatic functions like breathing, digestion, heart rate, and blood pressure.
