It does this autonomically (and automatically!) via the brainstem cells and receptors.
The nervous system has final control over the process of breathing, which is performed by the respiratory system.
breathing
The brain is part of the nervous system and not the breathing (respiratory)system.
The nervous system controls breathing rate.
For, to sleep would be to die
The autonomic nervous system that controls the functions within the body. Some functions that it controls are the heartbeat, digestive system, and breathing. The autonomic nervous system is the part of the peripheral nervous system that acts as a control system. It functions largely below the level of consciousness to control visceral functions.
autonomic nervous system refers to visceral organs that we are unable to control. these organs control actions such as breathing, heart rate, etc. that occur without having to be thought about
The main control center for breathing is located in the brainstem, specifically in the medulla oblongata. This area regulates the basic rhythm and depth of breathing through the autonomic nervous system.
They all have complex ganglia to control breathing, movement, and digestion.
The autonomic nervous system controls the involuntary processes of the body (heart rate, blood pressure, involuntary breathing, parastalsis and intestinal movement, etc.). It does not control voluntary central nervous system functions, such as movement (motor control), sensation, and executive functions (thinking of something and then doing it).
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.
The nervous system controls involuntary processes such as breathing through the autonomic nervous system. The brainstem has a respiratory center that regulates the rhythm and depth of breathing based on the levels of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the blood. Signals from the brainstem travel to the diaphragm and intercostal muscles to control the contraction and relaxation required for breathing.
