Best Answer

Breathing rate increases when:

-The respiratory center senses high CO2 levels and high H+ (hydrogen ion) concentration (controls pH).

-Carbonic Acid/Bicarbonate Buffer System: CO2+H2O<->H2CO3(carbonic acid)<->H(+)+HCO3-

-There are low blood O2 levels (sensed by chemo-receptors in certain blood vessels)

-Emotions, fear, and pain can also increase breathing rate
