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.
What else can I help you with?
Does your brain control your breathing?
yes it does
Does the lungs control your breathing or your brain control your breathing?
The Brain. To Be Precise, The Medulla Oblongata (The Lower Half of The Brainstem). The Lungs Are Just The Organs That Initiate The Process.
Which part of brain help you to control your breathing?
The PONS
The signals from the breathing center of the brain?
are NOT subject to voluntary control.
Is the brain stem responsible for the control of work of breathing?
Yes.
When people faint do they still breath?
Yes!!! Your breathing is contolled by part of the brain that is done without thought - much like when you are asleep you don't control your breathing by thoughts, they are by brain.
Does the breathing control center in the brain monitor the rising CO2 levels in the blood?
Quite so. The brain stem detects high levels of carbon dioxide and triggers breathing.
How much parts the brain has?
The brain has three main parts: the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem. These parts work together to control functions such as movement, thinking, and breathing.
Which part of the brain control certain automatic functions such as the regulation of breathing and heart rate?
medulla
Where are the breathing control centers which detect increased arterial carbon dioxide?
Increased arterial carbon dioxide will be detected by the breathing control centers which are situated in the medulla. The medulla is the most important part of the brain.
What does the cerebellum part of brain do?
what does the cerebellum control in the brain, my husband had a stroke many years ago but trouble breathing please answer my question
What is is the control center of the brain called?
Nucleus
