A respiratory control center at the base of your brain controls your breathing. This center sends ongoing signals down your spine and to the nerves of the muscles involved in breathing.
These signals ensure your breathing muscles contract (tighten) and relax regularly. This allows your breathing to happen automatically, without you being aware of it.
To a limited degree, you can change your breathing rate, such as by breathing faster or holding your breath. Your emotions also can change your breathing. For example, being scared or angry can affect your breathing pattern.
Your breathing will change depending on how active you are and the condition of the air around you. For example, you need to breathe more often when you do physical activity. In contrast, your body needs to restrict how much air you breathe if the air contains irritants or toxins.
To adjust your breathing to changing needs, your body has many sensors in your brain, blood vessels, muscles, and lungs.
Sensors in the brain and in two major blood vessels (the carotid (ka-ROT-id) artery and the aorta) detect carbon dioxide or oxygen levels in your blood and change your breathing rate as needed.
Sensors in the airways detect lung irritants. The sensors can trigger sneezing or coughing. In people who have Asthma, the sensors may cause the muscles around the airways in the lungs to contract. This makes the airways smaller.
Sensors in the alveoli (air sacs) detect a buildup of fluid in the lung tissues. These sensors are thought to trigger rapid, shallow breathing.
Sensors in your joints and muscles detect movement of your arms or legs. These sensors may play a role in increasing your breathing rate when you're physically active.
The medulla oblongata connects with the spinal cord and regulates heartbeat, respiration, swallowing, coughing, and blood pressure.
medulla oblongata
The brainstem.
Medulla
Hypothalamus control your heart rate. Medulla oblonga;ta assists in the control of breathing
when you are afraid scared or excited adrenaline is released hence increasing heart beat rate. due to increase in heart beat rate your breathing rate increases as well. After sometime your impulse is send to your brain to stop the releasing of adrenaline and your heart beat rate decreases along with your breathing =) hope i answered your question
Brain (neural), lungs (i can't remember why but the rhythm of breathing affects the heart rate), and circulatory system (the blood flow, difference in pressure triggers the heart beat).
The adrenal medulla is the part of the brain responsible for the release of adrenaline, when the adrenaline is released into the blood, the SAN is stimulated to work faster and increase your heart rate, this happens when playing sport or during your fight or flight response. However, the heart is not controlled by your brain as it is a myogenic muscle (self-exciting) this means that if you were to remove the heart from a body it would continue to beat. The sino-atrial node is responsible for the excitation of the heart. :) Hope this helps. Steph :)

What will the brain tell your heart to do?Your brain will tell your heart to beat thereby allowing you to breath and live.
Your brain controls your body it tells you and your body parts to do ,and when to do things such as your heart, it tells your heart when to beat and without your brain it wouldn't tell your heart when to beat so u would die.
pacemaker controlls the heart beat and etc
Yes, the brain controls everything about you.
