Breathing rate increases when:
-The respiratory center senses high CO2 levels and high H+ (hydrogen ion) concentration (controls pH).
-Carbonic Acid/Bicarbonate Buffer System: CO2+H2O<->H2CO3(carbonic acid)<->H(+)+HCO3-
-There are low blood O2 levels (sensed by chemo-receptors in certain blood vessels)
-Emotions, fear, and pain can also increase breathing rate

Your lungs control your breathing and your heart controls your pulse rate.
Kittens typically breathe at a rate of 20-30 breaths per minute. Factors that can affect their breathing rate include stress, excitement, illness, and environmental factors such as temperature and air quality.
Bunnies typically breathe at a rate of 30-60 breaths per minute. Factors that can affect their breathing rate include stress, exercise, temperature, and overall health.
Hypothalamus control your heart rate. Medulla oblonga;ta assists in the control of breathing
Cats typically breathe at a rate of 20-30 breaths per minute. Factors that can affect their breathing rate include stress, exercise, temperature, and underlying health conditions.
Respiratory rate is influenced by almost everything, anatomically and environmentally. Anatomical causes of respiratory rate changes are ailments such as copd (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) asthma, airway obstructions, diabetic coma or shock, congestive heart failure (back up of fluids through the venus supply), croup, anaphylaxsis, etc. Environmental causes include airway anomallies, drug overdoses, inhaled poisons,smoking etc.
The breathing rate and pulse rate are related proportionally. If the breathing rate increases, so does the pulse rate. The pulse rate is an indication of the breathing rate.
The brainstem, specifically the medulla oblongata, is the region that controls the breathing rate. It contains the respiratory center, which regulates the rate and depth of breathing based on the body's oxygen and carbon dioxide levels.
In general, males tend to have a slightly lower resting breathing rate compared to females. This difference may be influenced by factors such as differences in lung capacity, hormone levels, and body size. However, individual variations exist and other factors can also influence breathing rate.
A human's breathing rate can be affected by factors such as physical activity, emotional state, environmental conditions (such as altitude or air quality), and health conditions like asthma or pneumonia. Stress and anxiety can also influence breathing rate.
