Breathing is controlled involuntarily by the functions of the brain stem in the autonomic nervous system. So, the brain sends a signal to the lungs to keep breathing. The contraction and relaxation of the diaphragm muscles causes the lungs to expand and contract, resulting in respiration.
When the lungs expand and contract, oxygen flows into the alveoli in the lungs to bring oxygen into the capillaries, so that it can be absorbed to bind with hemoglobin in the blood, and sent throughout the body.
The oxygenated blood travels to the brain via the common carotid arteries, and provides oxygen for oxidative phosphorylation (chemical energy generation) needed by the very active neurons in the brain. During this process of generating NADPH and ATP, carbon dioxide is produced by the Kreb's Cycle, and rebinds with hemoglobin.
Carbon dioxide-rich blood is pumped back to the heart, where it travels back to the lungs, and it exchanged out of the alveoli, through the lungs, and exhaled. l
