The levels of carbon dioxide in the body are monitored by chemoreceptors, (they do this by measuring pH - lower pH means more carbon dioxide). If the levels of carbon dioxide are too high then the respiratory centre of the brain (in the medulla oblongatis) sends signals to the lungs and diaphragm to increase the breathing rate.

The respiratory center is located in the medulla oblongata, which is the lowest part of the brain stem.
HYPOTHALAMUS
The pneumotaxic center is aka pontine respiratory group (PRG). Its function is to inhibit inspiration, regulating inspiratory volume and rate. It can be considered an antagonist to the apneustic center which produces abnormal, deep, prolonged inspiratory gasps. Both of these structures are found in the pons of the midbrain.

The lungs.
It is the lungs.
The respiratory center is located in the brainstem, specifically in the medulla oblongata and pons. These regions of the brain control the basic rhythm and depth of breathing through signals to the muscles involved in respiration.
The parts of the human respiratory center are the lungs, alveoli and bronchioles.
No, the dorsal respiratory group is typically associated with the inspiratory phase of breathing, while the ventral respiratory group is considered the expiratory center in the central nervous system.
