Respiration in humans is controlled by medulla, which is a part of the brain. The medulla is responsible for the provision of adequate amount of oxygen for every activity. Medulla sends signals to our body to provide oxygen for every activity like sleeping, eating, walking, exercising etc. Human brain measures the level of carbon dioxide in blood and makes necessary adjustments to balance the amount of oxygen and controls respiration rate. Breathing is controlled by the brain but it can be controlled voluntarily also like holding ones breath. But this is just temporary and the medulla takes charge again after a few minutes to restore the breathing.
The breathing is controlled by the respiratory center. The heart rate is controlled by the rhythmic contractions of the SA node. SA node has fastest rhythm of contraction, of all the cardiac cells. So it is the 'Pace maker' for your heart.
The brain controls breathing in a center located in hte medulla oblongasta .
The medulla oblongata which is in the lower half of the brain stem controls heart rate and breathing.

Connect the brain to the spinal cord and controls involuntary actions such as breathing blood pressure and heartbeat?
The part of the brain stem that controls heartbeat and breathing is called the medulla.
What part of the brain controls your heart beat?
The adrenal medulla is the part of the brain responsible for the release of adrenaline, when the adrenaline is released into the blood, the SAN is stimulated to work faster and increase your heart rate, this happens when playing sport or during your fight or flight response. However, the heart is not controlled by your brain as it is a myogenic muscle (self-exciting) this means that if you were to remove the heart from a body it would continue to beat. The sino-atrial node is responsible for the excitation of the heart. :) Hope this helps. Steph :)
What is the part of the brainstem that controls heartbeat and breathing?
The medulla oblongata, often just referred to as the "medulla", controls autonomic body functions. It is the lower part of the brain stem.The brainstem, which is composed of the Medulla, Pons and the Midbrain. It runs all the involuntary muscles and control the breathing, digestion and blood circulation.The cardiovascular center in the medulla oblongata.
What part of the controls heart rate?
the medulla oblongata which is in the brain
Part of the brain that controls your heart and lungs?
The cerebrum
What part of the body controls breathing?
Mouth and nose
What part of your body controls breathing?
medulla oblongata
Which part of your brain controls involuntary activities such as breathing and heart beat?
Brain stem.
What part of the human brain controls breathing heart rate and respiration?
The medulla oblongata, located in the brainstem, controls breathing, heart rate, and respiration. It regulates these vital functions automatically without conscious effort.
Which part of the brain function of the breathing and heart rate?
The brain stem controls these functions
What part of the brains controls heart rate and breathing?
brain stem
What part of your brain controls breathing?
The brain stem is the part that controls breathing, it is the stem that allows the respiratory system to work and help you breathe
What part of the body controls functions like breathing and heartbeat?
BRAINSTEM The medulla (located in the lower half of the brainstem).
What part of the brain controls the automatic functions of breathing and heart rate?
medulla oblongata
What part of the brain controls and breathing?
brain stem
Which part of the brain controls rate of breathing?
medulla
Part of brain controls respiration?
The medulla oblongata, located in the brainstem, controls basic functions such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure. It contains the respiratory center which regulates the rate and depth of breathing to maintain proper oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the body. Damage to this area can disrupt normal breathing patterns and lead to respiratory problems.
