The inspiratory and expiratory centers which control breathing rate are located where in the brain?

It is located in the medulla oblongata, which is part of the brain stem. It monitors the body's CO2 and pH levels and sends instructions to the lungs if there is a problem (acidosis or alkalosis).
It is located in the medulla oblongata, which is located in the brain stem.

What is a madubla oblengoda?
Medulla Oblongata is the part of the brain that connects the spinal cord and is involved especially with control of involuntary activities (as breathing and beating of the heart) essential for life.
The standard for comparison in a experiment?
The standard for comparison in a experiment is known as a control variable. This is useful to any experiment and serves as a reference point used to draw conclusions.
How do you use the word control as a noun in a sentence?
I am a control freak The control box is in the corner
Can control change in science?
no the control does nothing
Can the be no control in a science fair project?
it's better to have a control but no you do not have to have a control in a science fair project
Where are the respiratory centers housed which control involuntary breathing rates?
The respiratory centers which control involuntary breathing rates are in the medulla and pons.
How do the respiratory system regulate our oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange?
breathing is regulated by the respiratory control centre (RCC) which detects signals from the chemoreceptors and proprioceptors, the RCC then sends a signal to the inspiratory centre and the expiratory control centre to either contract the external intercostal muscles and phrenic nerves to breathe out or relax the internal intercostal muscles and abs to breathe in.
Where are the breathing control centers which detect increased arterial carbon dioxide?
Increased arterial carbon dioxide will be detected by the breathing control centers which are situated in the medulla. The medulla is the most important part of the brain.
When activated the breathing control centers increase the rate of nerve impulses to the via the?
Diaphragm
What is the part of the brain that controls heartbeat and breathing called?
There are three vital centers in the medulla which control the heartbeat, the rate of breathing, and the diameter of the blood vessels.
What is the role of pons and medulla oblangata in regulating the cardiovascular and respiratory system and how is it effected by exercise?
The pons and medulla oblongata are part of the central nervous syst. (CNS) During times of physical or emotional stress, the autonomic nevous syst.(ANS) stimulate the sinoatrial node (SA) and the atrioventricular node (AV) and the cardiac muscle itself. When the demand declines the heart adjusts, the parasympathetic nerves slow and steady the heart. For breathing: Neural centers that control respiratory rhythm and depth are located mainly in the medulla and pons. the medulla sets the basic rhythm of breathin, it contains a pacemaker or self-exciting inspiratory center. When its neurons fire, a burst of impulses travels along the phrenic and intercostal nerves to excite the diaphragm and external coastal muscles, respectively. The medulla also contains an expiratory center that inhibits the pacemaker in a rhythmic way. Impulses going back and forth between medulla centers mantain a rate of 12-15 respirations/min. Pons centers appear to smooth out the basic rhythm of inspiration and expiration set by the medulla
Why is the medulla the most vital part of the brain?
It contains centers that control heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, swallowing (and vomiting), among others.
What part of the system makes you breathe while you are asleep?
Your nervous system. Special nerve centers in the brain stem control breathing when you are at rest or asleep.
What parameters do you change in volume control ventilation to increase expiratory time?
what is the purpose of a heated wire circuit
Is breathing a voluntary action?
No, breathing is not voluntary. We breathe because we need to and we don't think about it. If we didn't breathe we would be dead, so it is an involuntary action. Breathing is unique in that you can temporarily control it, but most of the time breathing happens without thinking.
What part of the brain regulates breathing heartbeat and blood pressure?
Pons & Mendulla Oblongata
What is regulates the tempo of breathing?
The tempo of breathing is primarily regulated by the respiratory centers in the brainstem, specifically the medulla oblongata. These centers send signals to the muscles involved in breathing, such as the diaphragm and intercostal muscles, to control the rate and depth of breaths. Additionally, factors such as oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood, as well as input from sensory receptors, can influence the tempo of breathing.
