Will difficulty in breathing reflect damage to respiratory centers located in the cerebellum?
No, difficulty in breathing is not typically associated with damage to the respiratory centers located in the cerebellum. The cerebellum is primarily involved in coordinating motor movements and balance, not respiration. Damage to the respiratory centers located in the brainstem, particularly in the medulla oblongata, is more likely to affect breathing function.
What is a respiratory control center?
Respiratory control centers are located in the medulla and the pons. In the medulla the ventral respiratory group contains rhythm generators whose output drives respiration. Also in the medulla, the neurons of the dorsal respiratory group integrate peripheral sensory input and modify the rhythms generated by the VRG. The pons respiratory centers interact with the medulla centers to smooth the breathing pattern. The respiratory center (RC), itself, is located in the medulla oblongata, the lowermost portion of the brainstem.
In which parts of the body does breathing?
The medulla oblongata and pons of the brainstem are the principal regulators of the respiratory system. It is there that the rhythm and depth of our respiration is controlled.

What part of your brain controls breathing?
The brain stem is the part that controls breathing, it is the stem that allows the respiratory system to work and help you breathe
Where is the respiratory system located in the body?
its in the middle of your upper chest.. mostly including your lungs :)
Where is the respiratory center located?
The respiratory center is located in the pons and the medulla oblongata.
How does the brain control breathing?
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.
