The pacemaker of the lungs is primarily the respiratory center located in the brainstem, specifically in the medulla oblongata and the pons. This center regulates the rhythm and rate of breathing by sending signals to the respiratory muscles, such as the diaphragm and intercostal muscles. It responds to various stimuli, including carbon dioxide levels, oxygen levels, and blood pH, to maintain proper respiratory function. This automatic regulation ensures that the body meets its oxygen demands and expels carbon dioxide effectively.
