Respiration is primarily regulated by the concentration of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the blood. Chemoreceptors, located in the brain and major blood vessels, monitor these levels and send signals to the respiratory centers in the brainstem to adjust breathing rate and depth accordingly. Additionally, factors such as pH levels and emotional stress can also influence respiratory regulation.
