it does so by determining how acidic the bloodis. if it has a low pH due to large abount of co2 in the blood then you breath more. if you have lots of oxygen and a higher pH then you breathe slower. this hapens in the cerabelum.

∙ 9y agoNo, the hypothalamus does not control involuntary actions like breathing. Instead, it controls body temperature, hunger, thirst and sleep and provides a link between the nervous and endocrine systems. The brain stem controls involuntary actions such as breathing and heartbeat.

Muscle action that is not under your control is?
Involuntary and reflex actions
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.
Why have you classified some of the action as involuntary voluntary?
Actions that one can control are governed by the peripheral nervous system and are called voluntary actions. As I am typing this, I am very much in control over the way my fingers move. This is called a voluntary action and as I mentioned before, is under the control of the peripheral nervous system. Actions that an individual cannot control such as the beating of the heart, peristaltic action and reflexes are under the control of the central nervous system and are called involuntary actions.
What part of our brain controls our involuntary actions?
It would be better to ask what part(s) control voluntary action. In general, everything is involved with involuntary actions. If you mean muscle activity (actions), then the typical answer is the involuntary nervous system, specifically the autonomic nervous system, in which there are two main parts (as determined by nervous transmitters and function). (For example, the Sympathetic nervous system.) But there are chemical responses controled too.
What causes voluntary movement?
Voluntary Movement is that of an object that moves itself by its own will. Involuntary Movement would be that of an object that moves automatically, by species or habit.
What regulates the vital body processes?
The autonomic nervous system performs this function, with central control emanating from the brainstem.
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.
What controls breathing and digestive?
Involuntary muscles control functions like breathing and digestion.
How is voluntary action different from involuntary?
An involuntary action is one that happens naturally without you being able to control it (like the beating of your heart). a voluntary action is on that you choose to do (like going for a walk).Voluntary actions they are actions that you control such as moving your hand or leg or anything you`re able to do.Involuntary actions they are actions that is done without your control like breathing,heart beats,contraction and relaxation of the arteries muscles,,etcInvoluntary action is something you will do automaticly, like breathing. Voluntary is something you can control, like snapping your fingers.A voluntary action is something performed on purpose, with an expected result. An involuntary action is something performed on accident with an end result being coincidental.
Is the cerebrum part of the brain that controls involuntary actions?
No. The medulla oblongata with the brain stem control all the necessary involuntary actions in our body.

Muscle action that is not under your control is?
Involuntary and reflex actions
What controles your heart beat and breathing?
Hypothalamus control your heart rate. Medulla oblonga;ta assists in the control of breathing
What muscles control involuntary movement like breathing digestion etc?
Smooth muscles control involuntary movement. However, breathing can be controlled by both voluntary and involuntary muscles. A person can hold their breath if they want but otherwise they don't need to think about it as the brain sets the rhythm.
What is the function of the autonamic nervous system?
Subdivision of the peripheral nervous system that regulates involuntary functions.
Is the tongue an involuntary muscle?
No, you have control over some of its actions and can use it conciously.
Is breathing a voluntary action?
