Regulation of respiration: The regulation of respiration, the process of breathing, is a complex physiological mechanism that ensures the body maintains the appropriate levels of oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in the bloodstream to meet the body’s metabolic needs and maintain pH balance. This regulation is primarily controlled by the respiratory control centers located in the brainstem, specifically the medulla oblongata and the pons. Here’s how the regulation of respiration works:
