Step 4: Time to grill. Place the plank on the grill rack and allow it to preheat for about 5 minutes, or until it begins to crackle and smoke. Lay the salmon onto the plank, cover the grill, and allow the salmon to cook for 12 to 20 minutes, depending on its thickness. To test for doneness, insert a fork into the thickest part of the salmon.
1 The Spinal Cord-This is the part which carries information from the brain and transmits it to the rest of the body. 2  It can be viewed as the information superhighway of the body. 3  Medulla Oblongata-The part of the brain helps to control automatic functions like breathing, heart rate, digestion, etc.
A major structure in the upper part of the brain stem is called the pons. The pons has two over-arching roles. The first is the regulation of breathing. In the pons, there is a structure called the pneumotaxic center. It controls the amount of air breathed and breaths per minute, which is known as the breathing rate. In addition, the pons is involved in the transmission of signals to and from other structures in the brain, such as the cerebrum or the cerebellum. The pons is also involved in sensations such as hearing, taste, and balance.
