which part of the brain is the center for breathing?

Answers:
The respiratory center in the brain is at the center in the Medulla Oblongata and Pons that integrates sensory information about the level of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood and determines the signals to be sent to the respiratory muscles.The medulla contains nuclei for regulating blood pressure and breathing, as well as nuclei for relaying information from the sense organs that comes in from the cranial nerves. The pons contains nuclei that relay movement and position information from the cerebellum to the cortex. It also contains nuclei that are involved in breathing, taste and sleep. 鈾?

I believe it's the cerebellum, the part of your brain in the lower back right where your spinal cord enters your head.
It control involuntary actions like Heartbeats, breathing, blinking, reflexes (hot stove), and fight or flight response.It's really interesting stuff, glad you asked!Check out www.howstuffworks.com for even more!
