there's a part of this brain called the respiratory system and if i am not mistaken it is located in a part of the brain called pons and the medulla oblongata. the brain controls the rate of breathing by monitoring the level of carbon dioxide in the blood. CO2 by the way is the main stimulus for breathing. without it, you just stop breathing at all (so CO2 is not at all that bad). anyway, when CO2 levels in the blood is high a condition known as respiratory acidosis develops. as a compensatory mechanism the brain causes us to hyperventilate to get rid of that extra CO2. when the CO2 level is low on the other hand, respiratory alkalosis develops. as a result the brain will cause us to hypoventilate which allows for the accumulation of CO2 in the blood. CO2 is maintained at a normal range which is 35 - 45 mmHg.
It doesn't actually control the actual rate because there is no rate of breathing but it does control the fact that your body needs oxygen so it makes sure you get it. So in a sense it might but since you can hold your breath you don't have a rate just a flow, and the brain does control the flow if you think don't breath then you won't breathing is involuntary. You think to move your arm but when you are asleep you don't unless it is uncontrollable, but you do breathe.
Yes, the medulla oblongata and pons (in the brainstem), as part of the autonomic nervous system, initiate respiration. The hypothalamus, located above the brainstem, controls metabolic processes and is likely involved, through neurons containing certain neuropeptides.
You can control your inhalation and exhalation voluntarily, but nerve impulses will eventually compel you to inhale, even if it occurs after loss of consciousness.
Yes. It is the automatic center in the part of the brain called the hypothalamus.

body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate
The nervous system controls heart and respiratory rates.
The nervous system controls the rate of the heartbeat and respiration.
A person's breathing rate influences the level of CO2 in their blood. Breathing that is too slow or shallow causes respiratory acidosis, while breathing that is too rapid leads to hyperventilation, which may cause respiratory alkalosis.
the control of respiratory ventilation
The nervous system controls heart rate and respiratory rate. It may be influenced by the endocrine system as well. A rapid heart and breathing rate are typical results of activation of the sympathetic nervous system.
Why does the respiratory rate change depending on age?
Emotion can affect the respiratory rate by triggering the body's fight-or-flight response, leading to an increase in breathing rate during states of stress, anxiety, or excitement. Conversely, feelings of calmness or relaxation can result in a slower breathing rate. Emotional factors can influence the autonomic nervous system, which controls respiration.
The three characteristics of a respiratory rate are rate, depth, and rhythm.
