The primary chemical that triggers the brain to control breathing is carbon dioxide (CO2). As CO2 levels rise in the blood, it leads to a decrease in pH, making the blood more acidic. This change is detected by chemoreceptors in the body, which signal the brain, particularly the medulla oblongata, to increase the rate and depth of breathing to expel excess CO2 and restore normal levels. Oxygen levels also play a role, but CO2 is the main driver for regulating breathing.
The most important signal that the brain uses to regulate breathing rate is the level of carbon dioxide in the blood. When carbon dioxide levels rise, this triggers the brain to increase the breathing rate to expel excess carbon dioxide and bring more oxygen into the body.
The brain has three main parts: the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem. These parts work together to control functions such as movement, thinking, and breathing.
what does the cerebellum control in the brain, my husband had a stroke many years ago but trouble breathing please answer my question
The medulla oblongata and the pons are the parts of the brain that control breathing. The medulla oblongata detects oxygen and carbon dioxide levels and controls the muscles in the heart, lungs, and diaphragm. The pons controls inhalation and exhalation speed.
medulla oblongata
Quite so. The brain stem detects high levels of carbon dioxide and triggers breathing.
endogenous opioid peptides
The primary chemical stimulus for breathing is the concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood. When carbon dioxide levels rise, it triggers the brain to increase the rate and depth of breathing in order to remove excess carbon dioxide and maintain proper pH balance in the body.
yes it does
The Brain. To Be Precise, The Medulla Oblongata (The Lower Half of The Brainstem). The Lungs Are Just The Organs That Initiate The Process.
The PONS
are NOT subject to voluntary control.
Yes.

Yes!!! Your breathing is contolled by part of the brain that is done without thought - much like when you are asleep you don't control your breathing by thoughts, they are by brain.
