027 The 3 parts of the brain stem and their functions

In this video, Leslie Samuel introduces the brain stem, which consists of the medulla, pons, and midbrain. He explains the functions of each part: the midbrain is involved in vision, hearing, and movement; the medulla regulates vital functions like breathing and heart rate; and the pons is responsible for motor control and sensory analysis. The video aims to make biology engaging and informative.
