eupnea
The normal rate and depth of breathing is established in centers located in the brainstem, specifically in the medulla oblongata and pons. These areas control the respiratory rhythm and coordinate the muscles involved in breathing.
When hypoventilation occurs, the body increases both the rate and depth of respiration to try to bring more oxygen into the lungs and remove excess carbon dioxide. This helps to correct the imbalance in blood oxygen and carbon dioxide levels by increasing the amount of gas exchange in the lungs. The increased respiration rate and depth help to improve oxygen levels in the blood and remove carbon dioxide to restore a more balanced state.
The average ratio of pulse rate to respiration rate is typically around 4:1.
The brain stem controls respiration. The medulla and pons are both involved in volume and rhythm control.

Eupnea
A pig's normal respiration rate is between 20 and 40 breaths per minute. This respiration rate is normal for pigs that are still eating and growing.

I
Yes, changes in arterial pH can modify respiration rate and rhythm through the peripheral chemoreceptors, even when carbon dioxide and oxygen levels are normal. This is known as respiratory compensation and helps maintain acid-base balance in the body by adjusting the rate and depth of breathing.
confuse
The normal respiration rate for squirrels typically ranges from 30 to 40 breaths per minute when at rest. This rate can vary based on factors such as activity level, stress, and environmental conditions. Squirrels are known for their energetic behavior, which can temporarily increase their respiration rate during physical activity. Monitoring respiration is important for assessing their health and well-being.

The normal respiratory rate for dogs is 16 to 20 breaths per minute.
The normal respiration rate in most undisturbed bird of prey is 10-20 per minute.
Yes.
