Solution

The brain stem is located below the brain at the back of the neck and contains the vital control center of the body called the medulla oblongata. This area is a major part of the brain that is responsible for multiple automatic and involuntary functions that are necessary for life.

When food enters the mouth and passes through the digestive system, it sends a multitude of interacting signals to the brain, loaded with sensory, nutritive, and other information.
