Ventilatory rhythm is the regular pattern of breathing that involves the inhalation and exhalation of air to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body. It is controlled by the respiratory centers in the brainstem and is influenced by factors such as CO2 levels, oxygen levels, and metabolic demand. Changes in the ventilatory rhythm can occur in response to exercise, emotions, or certain medical conditions.
