Since we were born, all vital functions are managed by the Central Nervous System as an involuntary commandment. Bowels movement, heart pulsing, breathing, remain active throughout our lives. In the CNS there are specialized sectors commanding respiration, heartbeat, bowels movement. Our body doesn't need knowing that we have to breathe, but a part of our body, the brain,through the CNS, know that we can't stop breathing.
