respiratory control

Respiratory control involves the body’s systems that regulate breathing to maintain proper oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood. Sensors in the brain and blood vessels detect changes in these gases and send signals to the breathing muscles, primarily the diaphragm and chest muscles, to adjust the rate and depth of breaths. This process ensures your body gets enough oxygen and removes carbon dioxide efficiently, whether you're resting, exercising, or in different environmental conditions. It’s a finely-tuned system that operates mostly automatically to keep your internal environment balanced.
