medulla oblongata
The lower portion of the Brain Stem is called the Medulla Oblongata. Its job is to control Cardiac and Respiratory Centers and deals with autonomic and involuntary functions such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure.
Blood lacks respiratory pigment.
Lungs
Medulla (Oblongata)(part of the brain stem) contains an autonomic reflex center involved in maintaining homeostasis of important visceral organs. It contains several centers: 1. The cardiac center adjusts force and rate of heart contraction. 2. The vasomotor center regulates blood pressure by acting on smooth muscle in the walls of peripheral arterioles. 3. The respiratory center controls the depth and rhythm of breathing.
depressed
The hypothalamus influences the autonomic centers in the brain stem and the spinal cord. In this way it regulates many Visceral activites such as heart rate, blood pressure respiratory rate and motility of digestive tract
fast breathing rate In asthma or other lung diseases, the ability to expire carbon dioxide decreases, resulting in buildup of carbon dioxide in the blood, resulting in respiratory acidosis (decreased pH in the blood). Acidosis stimulates the respiratory centers in the brain, causing the respiratory rate to increase (tachypnea) to attempt to normalize the pH of the blood.
medulla oblongata
The respiratory centers that control your rate of breathing are in the brainstem or medulla.Specialized nerve cells within the aorta and carotid arteries called peripheral chemoreceptors monitor the oxygen concentration of the blood and feed back on the respiratory centers.Peripheral chemoreceptors also monitor the carbon dioxide concentration in the blood. In addition, a central chemoreceptor in the medulla monitors the carbon dioxide concentration in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that surrounds the brain and spinal cord; carbon dioxide diffuses easily into the CSF from the blood. If the carbon dioxide concentration gets too high, then both types of chemoreceptors signal the respiratory centers to increase the rate and depth of breathingThe peripheral and central chemoreceptors are also sensitive to the pH of the blood and CSF.

Medulla Oblongata
There are three vital centers in the medulla which control the heartbeat, the rate of breathing, andthe diameter of the blood vessels. Centers that help coordinate swallowing, vomiting, hiccoughing,coughing, and sneezing are also located in the medulla.
