How is breathing controlled in the body and related to homeostasis?

A+ Students - medulla oblongata
Breathing is controlled by the brain stem, in the medulla oblongata. Breathing is important for homeostasis because the pH balance of our blood id about 7.3, just slightly alkaline. Breathing controls the amount of oxygen vs. carbon dioxide in our blood by releasing carbon dioxide in the lungs so it leaves the body when we exhale. If you hyperventilate, for example, you will build up too much carbon dioxide which will make your blood become acidic. That's why they have you breathe into a paper bag, so you don't take in any more oxygen and the red blood cells have room to carry the carbon dioxide to your lungs.
