Abstract
The mechanism of respiratory control orchestrates the intricate interplay of physiological processes to maintain optimal levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body. Central to this process are the medulla oblongata and pons within the brainstem, which serve as control centers. These centers monitor chemical cues such as blood pH, carbon dioxide, and oxygen levels. Elevated carbon dioxide prompts increased breathing to expel excess gas, while low oxygen levels stimulate deeper breathing to enhance oxygen intake. Sensory receptors within the respiratory system, blood vessels, and muscles contribute to the regulation by providing feedback on factors like long stretch and physical activity. This dynamic feedback loop enables adjustments based on demand, such as heightened respiration during exercise
