Pulmonary ventilation is primarily regulated by the respiratory center in the brainstem, which includes the medulla oblongata and pons. These centers respond to chemical signals such as carbon dioxide, oxygen, and pH levels in the blood. Increased levels of carbon dioxide or a decrease in pH stimulate increased ventilation to expel CO2 and restore balance. Additionally, mechanoreceptors in the lungs and chest wall provide feedback to adjust breathing patterns based on physical activity and lung expansion.
