Respiratory Regulation

Respiratory regulation is the body's way of controlling breathing to maintain proper levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood. Special sensors in the body detect these gas levels and send signals to the brain, which then adjusts the rate and depth of breathing accordingly. This process ensures we get enough oxygen for our tissues and remove excess carbon dioxide efficiently. It happens automatically, whether we're resting, exercising, or experiencing changes in our environment, helping keep our internal environment stable and healthy.
