In short, yes. The main control of respiration is actually the level of carbon dioxide in your blood. When carbon dioxide levels rise, a chemical reaction occurs that causes the acidity levels of your blood to rise. This is detected by chemorecepters that stimulate you to breathe. On the other hand, if you breathe too fast and carbon dioxide levels drop, your body will slow down it's breathing. There are several other processes that help regulate breathing, but carbon dioxide levels are by far the most important.

What is the difference between chemical and neural breathing?
Chemical breathing refers to the regulation of breathing based on the levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2) in the blood, primarily managed by chemoreceptors that detect these changes. In contrast, neural breathing is controlled by the brain's respiratory centers, which send signals to the muscles involved in breathing. While both processes work together to maintain proper ventilation and gas exchange, chemical breathing responds to metabolic needs, whereas neural breathing involves conscious and automatic control mechanisms.
Which gas is this breathing rate in humans is controlled by the concentration of gas dissolved in blood?
The breathing rate in humans is primarily controlled by the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) dissolved in the blood. Elevated levels of CO2 trigger chemoreceptors that signal the respiratory center in the brain to increase the breathing rate, ensuring that excess carbon dioxide is expelled and oxygen levels are maintained. This regulation helps maintain proper acid-base balance in the body.
Type of response controlled by the medulla?
The medulla controls vital functions such as heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure. It also plays a role in reflexes like coughing, sneezing, and swallowing.
What are 4 human body conditions that must be controlled?
There's body temperature, which in humans is 37*C. Also there's blood sugar, which is controlled by the hormone insulin produced in the pancreas. Water and mineral ions are also controlled by the body. You may lose water and mineral ions by sweating, urine and also by breathing out. This is controlled by the nervous system and hormones. Sorry, I don't know a fourth yet
Which two organs respond to changes in blood buffer equilibrium?
The lungs and the kidneys are two organs that respond to changes in blood buffer equilibrium. The lungs regulate carbon dioxide levels by adjusting breathing rate, while the kidneys control bicarbonate levels through filtration and reabsorption. Together, they help maintain the blood's pH balance.
Is breathing contolled by changes in the chemistry of the blood which causes the medulla oblongata to react?
yes it is
How is breathing controlled in the body and related to homeostasis?
A+ Students - medulla oblongata Breathing is controlled by the brain stem, in the medulla oblongata. Breathing is important for homeostasis because the pH balance of our blood id about 7.3, just slightly alkaline. Breathing controls the amount of oxygen vs. carbon dioxide in our blood by releasing carbon dioxide in the lungs so it leaves the body when we exhale. If you hyperventilate, for example, you will build up too much carbon dioxide which will make your blood become acidic. That's why they have you breathe into a paper bag, so you don't take in any more oxygen and the red blood cells have room to carry the carbon dioxide to your lungs.
Which receptors are the most sensitive to blood chemistry changes?
chemoreceptors
How the rate of respiration controlled by the animal organism?
Breathing is the mechanical procedure in which air reaches the lungs. The rate of respiration is controlled by a respiratory center in the brain stem that responds to changes in the hydrogen ions and carbon dioxide in the blood.
How is the blood flow controlled in the veins?
Blood flow in the veins is controlled by contraction of the surrounding skeletal muscles, one-way valves in the vein walls that prevent backflow, and changes in pressure within the veins due to breathing and posture. These mechanisms help propel blood back toward the heart and maintain proper circulation.
What are the factors that changes the rate of heart beats?
Blood Pressure, Activity being preformed, breathing pattern, and health
Which gas is this breathing rate in humans is controlled by the concentration of gas dissolved in blood?
The breathing rate in humans is primarily controlled by the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) dissolved in the blood. Elevated levels of CO2 trigger chemoreceptors that signal the respiratory center in the brain to increase the breathing rate, ensuring that excess carbon dioxide is expelled and oxygen levels are maintained. This regulation helps maintain proper acid-base balance in the body.
The rate of breathing is controlled by cells within?
the brainstem, specifically in the medulla oblongata. These cells monitor the levels of carbon dioxide in the blood and regulate the rate of breathing accordingly to maintain a balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
How does breathing change during exercise and what factors influence these changes?
During exercise, breathing rate and depth increase to supply more oxygen to the muscles. Factors that influence these changes include the intensity of the exercise, the body's oxygen demand, and the level of carbon dioxide in the blood.
Which activities of the body are controlled by the autonomic nervous system?
The autonomic nervous system controls involuntary activities of the body, such as heart rate, digestion, breathing, and blood pressure.
What is the blood type in humans controlled by?
Blood types are controlled by multiple alleles.
The primary chemical stimulus used to control breathing is changes in the concentration of?
The primary chemical stimulus used to control breathing is changes in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood. When carbon dioxide levels increase, it triggers an increase in breathing rate to remove excess carbon dioxide and restore balance.
