Respiratory centre in the medulla (brain)
Breathing is the mechanical procedure in which air reaches the lungs. The rate of respiration is controlled by a respiratory center in the brain stem that responds to changes in the hydrogen ions and carbon dioxide in the blood.
Why does the respiratory rate change depending on age?
The three characteristics of a respiratory rate are rate, depth, and rhythm.
respiratory
Pulse Rate is the number of times your heart beats in a minute. Breathing Rate (Respiratory Rate) is the number of times you breathe in one minute.
The medulla contains the cardiac, respiratory, vomiting and vasomotorcenters and therefore deals with theautonomic (involuntary) functions of breathing, heart rate and blood pressure. It is largely below the level of consciousness to control visceral functions, including heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, salivation, perspiration, pupillary dilation, urination, sexual arousal, breathing and swallowing.
The most common way to measure respiratory rate is in the seated position.
60
No there is not a direct connection. Typicly as heart rate increases it is in response to increased cardiac demand and respiratory rate increases accordingly.
Certain medications primarily depressants or alcohol can cause a decrease in someone's respiratory rate.
normal respiratory rate is 60-72bts/mts
