The respiratory rate of an animal is primarily controlled by the brainstem, specifically the medulla oblongata and pons, which regulate the rhythmic pattern of breathing. Chemoreceptors in the body detect changes in carbon dioxide, oxygen, and pH levels, signaling the brain to adjust the respiratory rate accordingly. Additionally, factors such as physical activity, stress, and environmental conditions can influence the respiratory rate by signaling the need for increased or decreased oxygen intake.
What else can I help you with?
What controls the breathing rate?
your respiratory system/lungs
What body system controls heart rate and breath rate?
The nervous system controls heart and respiratory rates.
Which body system controls the rate at which the circulatory and respiratory work?
The nervous system controls the rate of the heartbeat and respiration.
Who discovered respiratory center?
Who first reported the presence of 'respiratory centre' which maintains and controls the rate of respiration
How efficient is the respiratory system of the yak?
The respiratory rate of a yak increases with heat and at low altitudes, while at higher, cooler climates, the rate decreases. This helps the animal adjust to the varying climates.

How does emotion affect the respiratory rate?
Emotion can affect the respiratory rate by triggering the body's fight-or-flight response, leading to an increase in breathing rate during states of stress, anxiety, or excitement. Conversely, feelings of calmness or relaxation can result in a slower breathing rate. Emotional factors can influence the autonomic nervous system, which controls respiration.
What animal has a respiratory organ?
Any animal that breathes has a respiratory organ
Part of brain controls respiration?
The brain stem controls respiration. The medulla and pons are both involved in volume and rhythm control.
What substance in the blood controls the rate of respiration?
Carbon dioxide levels in the blood are the main regulator of respiration rate. When CO2 levels increase, the body signals to breathe more rapidly to eliminate excess CO2 through exhalation. Conversely, when CO2 levels decrease, breathing slows down to retain more CO2 in the body.
If you have just placed an advanced airway in a patient with a respiratory condition and his heart rate decreased what BEST explains the decreasing heart rate?
Most likely you have pressed on the vagus nerve that controls parasympathetic innervation to the heart.
What organelle controls the respiratory system?
Brain
