The build up of CO2 ( Carbon Dioxide ) in the blood is what regulates the need to breath in most animals

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.
The pH of the blood is regulated by short term changes mediated by altering the rate of respiration and on the longer term by filtering of the blood in the kidneys.
True. The medulla oblongata regulates vital involuntary functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration.
In plants, the stomata regulate gas exchange during the processes of photosynthesis and respiration. Stomata are small pores located on the surface of leaves that open and close to control the movement of gases such as carbon dioxide and oxygen. By regulating the opening and closing of stomata, plants can optimize gas exchange for efficient photosynthesis and respiration.
The autonomic nervous system controls involuntary bodily functions such as heart rate, digestion, and respiration. It regulates and maintains internal organs to help the body respond to various situations and maintain homeostasis.
