Image highlights the central region of the brain, above the brain stem.

Regulating important involuntary bodily functions such as blood pressure, heart rate, breathing, and swallowing.

Regulating the body’s homeostasis, hunger and eating, thirst and drinking, and other functions of basic survival.

Coordinating movement and balance by using information

Answer 1

Well that looks like the "thalamus."

That's the part of our brain that helps control our motor skills.
Motor skills are voluntary movements. The way that we move and position our bodies.

Our basic senses are also processed through the thalamus.
I'm talking about taste, touch, sight, and hearing.
(Our sense of smell is an exception.)

Answer 2

I don't think that's the pons.

Look at this picture:

The green highlighted part looks a little too high up to be the pons.
