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.

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.

Which organs do humans use for breathing?

Humans primarily use the lungs for breathing. The air is drawn into the lungs through the trachea, which then branches into the bronchi and bronchioles where gas exchange takes place. The diaphragm muscle helps to expand and contract the lungs during breathing.


Humans breathing is a factor that causes an imbalance in the carbon cycle?

No, this is not true. Human breathing is part of the carbon cycle. We breathe it in, (and we take it in by eating and drinking) and we breathe it out.


Which part of the brain is responsible for adjusting the rate of responsible?

Respiration in humans is controlled by medulla, which is a part of the brain. The medulla is responsible for the provision of adequate amount of oxygen for every activity. Medulla sends signals to our body to provide oxygen for every activity like sleeping, eating, walking, exercising etc. Human brain measures the level of carbon dioxide in blood and makes necessary adjustments to balance the amount of oxygen and controls respiration rate. Breathing is controlled by the brain but it can be controlled voluntarily also like holding ones breath. But this is just temporary and the medulla takes charge again after a few minutes to restore the breathing


Can a human inhale through mouth?

Yes, humans can inhale through their mouth. While the primary breathing route is through the nose, the mouth can also be used for breathing in situations where there is difficulty breathing through the nose or increased oxygen demand.
