    The medulla

    Explanation:

    The medulla is a structure located in the brainstem which lies inferior to the cerebellum and is mainly responsible for controlling the involuntary actions of the body. The various centers that are located in the medulla are - the respiratory center, cardiovascular center, vasomotor center, and reflex center. Out of all the centers, it is the reflex center that is responsible for controlling actions like coughing, sneezing, swallowing, etc. Since in the given question, after the auto accident Chris is unable to swallow, this shows that there is an injury to the medulla because this is where the reflex center lies.
