it does so by determining how acidic the bloodis. if it has a low pH due to large abount of co2 in the blood then you breath more. if you have lots of oxygen and a higher pH then you breathe slower. this hapens in the cerabelum.
The autonomic nervous system performs this function, with central control emanating from the brainstem.
No. The medulla oblongata with the brain stem control all the necessary involuntary actions in our body.

Involuntary and reflex actions
Subdivision of the peripheral nervous system that regulates involuntary functions.
No, you have control over some of its actions and can use it conciously.
Actions that one can control are governed by the peripheral nervous system and are called voluntary actions. As I am typing this, I am very much in control over the way my fingers move. This is called a voluntary action and as I mentioned before, is under the control of the peripheral nervous system. Actions that an individual cannot control such as the beating of the heart, peristaltic action and reflexes are under the control of the central nervous system and are called involuntary actions.
Involuntary actions of the body are controlled by the autonomic nervous system.

It would be better to ask what part(s) control voluntary action. In general, everything is involved with involuntary actions. If you mean muscle activity (actions), then the typical answer is the involuntary nervous system, specifically the autonomic nervous system, in which there are two main parts (as determined by nervous transmitters and function). (For example, the Sympathetic nervous system.) But there are chemical responses controled too.
You cannot control your involuntary organ. You can control your voluntary organ.
