The respiratory rhythm is controlled by the respiratory center located in the brainstem, which receives input from chemoreceptors that sense levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and pH in the blood. Additionally, input from higher brain centers and stretch receptors in the lungs also affect the respiratory rhythm.
