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.
With that in mind, a major structure in the upper part of your 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. This is really just a big word for a center of nerve cells that control the amount of air you breathe and how many times a minute you take a breath, which is known as the breathing rate.
