Diaphragm
An increase in breathing rate can be triggered by an increase in carbon dioxide levels in the blood, low oxygen levels, physical exertion, stress, or high altitude. These factors can stimulate the respiratory centers in the brain to increase the rate and depth of breathing to help maintain proper gas exchange in the body.
Your brain regulates the speed of breathing and heart rate. If an individual is feeling short of breath, the heart must increase the pace atwhich it pumps in order to transport oxygen throughout the body. And to get more oxygen the diaphragm must rise and fall faster, increasing the breathing rate.
The medulla oblongata regulates breathing, while the sinoatrial (SA) node regulates the heartbeat. The medulla oblongata controls the respiratory rate and depth by receiving sensory information and sending signals to the diaphragm and intercostal muscles. The SA node is considered the heart's natural pacemaker, generating electrical impulses to coordinate the heartbeat.
The normal rate and depth of breathing is established in centers located in the brainstem, specifically in the medulla oblongata and pons. These areas control the respiratory rhythm and coordinate the muscles involved in breathing.
The vital centers, including the cardiac, respiratory, and vasomotor centers, are located in the brainstem, specifically in the medulla oblongata. These centers are responsible for regulating essential functions such as heart rate, breathing, and blood vessel constriction/dilation.

Chemicals - most important are the concentrations of CO2, hydrogen ions and O2 in the blood. Chemoreceptors are located in the respiratory center, the carotid bodies and the aortic bodies which detect the levels. Inflation Reflex- stretch receptors in the visceral pleurae are sensitive to the degree of stretching by the lungs. Higher Brain Centers - Impulses from higher brain centers may affect respiratory center. Body Temperature - an increase in body temp, increases the breathing rate.
The respiratory centers which control involuntary breathing rates are in the medulla and pons.
If the level of carbon dioxide increases, the repiratory centers are signaled to increase the rate and depth of breathing. This will result in the return of normal CO2 (carbon dioxide) and slows the breathing rate.

The strongest stimulatory effect on pulmonary ventilation is typically caused by an increase in arterial carbon dioxide levels. This increase triggers the body's chemoreceptors to signal the respiratory centers in the brain to increase the rate and depth of breathing, helping to remove excess carbon dioxide from the body.
The pontine respiratory centers influence and modify the activity of the medullary neurons. The pontine respiratory group, formerly called the pneumotaxic center qand other centers transmit impulses to the vrg of the medulla. this input modifies and fine tunes the breathing rhythms generated by the vrg durng certain activities such as vocalizationm sleep,and exercise. as you would expect from these functins, the pontine respratory centers, like the drg, receive input from higher brain centers and from various sensory receptors in the periphery.

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.
Sensory impulses play a crucial role in regulating the rhythm of breathing by providing the brain with information about the body's internal and external environments. Chemoreceptors detect changes in carbon dioxide and oxygen levels in the blood, while mechanoreceptors in the lungs sense stretch and pressure. These sensory inputs are relayed to the respiratory centers in the brainstem, which adjust the rate and depth of breathing accordingly to maintain homeostasis and respond to activities such as exercise or stress. This dynamic feedback loop ensures that the body meets its oxygen demands and effectively removes carbon dioxide.
No, difficulty in breathing is not typically associated with damage to the respiratory centers located in the cerebellum. The cerebellum is primarily involved in coordinating motor movements and balance, not respiration. Damage to the respiratory centers located in the brainstem, particularly in the medulla oblongata, is more likely to affect breathing function.
