Yes. The hypothalamus is part of your autonomic nervous center and can influence rate and depth in response to pain and temperature changes
Several factors can affect respiratory rate and depth. Two of these are strong emotions, as well as pain acting through the limbic system, which activate sympathetic centers in the hypothalamus. Other factors are fever, labor, fear, anger, happiness, running, sleeping, yoga , meditation, and conditions like high BP or Low BP.
The three characteristics of a respiratory rate are rate, depth, and rhythm.
The higher the respiratory rate and deeper the breaths the lower the blood CO2.
yes
Carbon dioxide and blood pH modify reparatory rate and depth.
Carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide and blood PH
Being Ill ca. influence it pretty well.
it's your lungs
COPD can affect the rate and depth of breathing including respiratory volumes. A stress test will also show irregular changes.
Eupnea is the term used to describe normal, quiet breathing characterized by a regular rate and depth of respiration. It involves rhythmic contractions of the diaphragm and other respiratory muscles to facilitate the exchange of gases in the lungs. Any deviation from this pattern may indicate an underlying respiratory issue.
The hypothalamus influences the autonomic centers in the brain stem and the spinal cord. In this way it regulates many Visceral activites such as heart rate, blood pressure respiratory rate and motility of digestive tract
