Yes, the repiratory system is controlled by unconscious action to inhale & exhale. Try it, you will find it's impossible to hold your breath for longer than about 3 mins. That's because after that you wll sustain brain damage, so the body ensures that this is not possible. Therefore, you can only stop breathing by means of external influences such as suffocation or drowning.
