your respiratory system/lungs
The nervous system controls the rate of the heartbeat and respiration.
The nervous system controls heart and respiratory rates.
Who first reported the presence of 'respiratory centre' which maintains and controls the rate of respiration
The respiratory rate of a yak increases with heat and at low altitudes, while at higher, cooler climates, the rate decreases. This helps the animal adjust to the varying climates.

Emotion can affect the respiratory rate by triggering the body's fight-or-flight response, leading to an increase in breathing rate during states of stress, anxiety, or excitement. Conversely, feelings of calmness or relaxation can result in a slower breathing rate. Emotional factors can influence the autonomic nervous system, which controls respiration.
Any animal that breathes has a respiratory organ
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.
Brain
Carbon dioxide levels in the blood are the main regulator of respiration rate. When CO2 levels increase, the body signals to breathe more rapidly to eliminate excess CO2 through exhalation. Conversely, when CO2 levels decrease, breathing slows down to retain more CO2 in the body.
Why does the respiratory rate change depending on age?
