Breathing rate simply means the number of times that you breathe in a particular time. Here is a few examples: 36 times for one minute
189 times an hour.
599 times a day.
The above examples may not be accurate rates but they are just examples to show my answer a little more clearly.

What is the word for the number of times you breathe each minute called?
Respiratory rate. Breath rate, or respiration rate.
Can holding your breath decrease respiration rate?
Yes, holding your breath can temporarily decrease respiration rate as the body conserves oxygen. However, once you resume breathing, your respiration rate will increase to compensate for the oxygen deficit accumulated while holding your breath. It is not recommended to intentionally hold your breath for extended periods as it can lead to hypoxia and potentially be harmful.
What is minute ventilation?
Minute ventilation is the total volume of air that is inhaled or exhaled in one minute. It is calculated by multiplying the tidal volume (amount of air moved in or out of the lungs in one breath) by the respiratory rate (number of breaths taken per minute). Minute ventilation is an important measure of lung function and respiratory health.
Does increase in CO2 increase or decrease respiratory rate?
An increase in CO2 levels typically leads to an increase in respiratory rate. This is known as the hypercapnic ventilatory response, where the body tries to eliminate excess CO2 by breathing more rapidly.
What is the most important chemical stimuli leading to increased rate of breath?
The most important chemical stimuli leading to an increased rate of breathing is an increase in carbon dioxide levels in the blood. This triggers the body's respiratory control system to stimulate the respiratory muscles to breathe more rapidly and deeply to remove excess carbon dioxide and restore normal blood gas levels.
What body system controls heart rate and breath rate?
The nervous system controls heart and respiratory rates.
What is the word for the number of times you breathe each minute called?
Respiratory rate. Breath rate, or respiration rate.
Did the respiratory rate of the test subject change after holding his or her breath?
Right when you stop holding your breath, your breath rate will certainly increase due to the body's increased need to expel the built up CO2 as well as inhale the lacking O2.
Reasoning for measuring your breath rate?
This depends entirely on why the breath rate (assuming you mean breaths per minute) or respiratory rate is being measured. From a fitness point of view, the respiratory rate is an indication of cardiovascular fitness. During exercise when there is increased demand for Oxygen by the body - the ability of the body to effectively meet that need without causing the person to feel like they are going to pass out is an indication of the ability of the cardio and respiratory systems to respond. After exercise for instance a very fit person will be able to "catch their breath" quite quickly compared to a person unused to physical exertion. Alterations in respiratory rate can be an indication or symptom of illness, or in the presence of a known illness alterations can be a sign of improvement or deterioration. Young children and babies for example, "breath up" or increase their breath rate when in pain, when dehydrated, when overheated (feverish) and for many other reasons. A rapid breath rate in anyone, (child or adult) that is not associated with exercise - is also a sign that the heart may be working much harder that usual. In short, measuring the respiratory rate is a useful indication of health.
Can holding your breath decrease respiration rate?
Yes, holding your breath can temporarily decrease respiration rate as the body conserves oxygen. However, once you resume breathing, your respiration rate will increase to compensate for the oxygen deficit accumulated while holding your breath. It is not recommended to intentionally hold your breath for extended periods as it can lead to hypoxia and potentially be harmful.
How long does it take a humans breath to go in and out of the body?
Resting respiratory rate in adult is 12 to 15/ minute. So it takes about 4 to 5 seconds for human breath to go in and out.
How many time does a humans breath?
A person's respiratory rate changes with age and physical condition. A baby, (0 - 12months), has a respiratory rate of 25 - 30 breaths per minute, a child, (1 - 10yrs), 20 - 25 bpm and an adult has a rate between 12 and 20 bpm. A person with a good physical condition would breath slower than an unfit person. A sickness or disease like asthma, tuberculosis, emphysema, would elevate the respiratory rate.

What happens to the respiratory rate during a heart attack?
Temperature may rise slightly during a heart attack. Heart rate may become irregular. Respirations may increase and become shallow reflecting shortness of breath. Blood pressure may increase or decrease.

What are 3 characteristics of a respiratory surface?
The three characteristics of a respiratory rate are rate, depth, and rhythm.
