The rhythmicity of breathing is primarily controlled by the brainstem, particularly the medulla oblongata and pons. Neurons in these areas generate rhythmic patterns of activity that regulate the contraction of respiratory muscles. Additionally, sensory input from chemoreceptors and mechanoreceptors helps modulate the rhythm based on the body’s metabolic needs, such as changes in carbon dioxide and oxygen levels. This complex interplay ensures that breathing remains automatic yet adaptable to various physiological demands.
