2. Respiratory center - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_center

   The respiratory center is responsible for generating and maintaining the rhythm of respiration, and also of adjusting this in homeostatic response to physiological changes. The respiratory center receives input from chemoreceptors , mechanoreceptors , the cerebral cortex , and the hypothalamus in order to regulate the rate and depth of breathing.

3. Respiration (physiology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiration_(physiology)

   Although physiologic respiration is necessary to sustain cellular respiration and thus life in animals, the processes are distinct: cellular respiration takes place in individual cells of the organism, while physiologic respiration concerns the diffusion and transport of metabolites between the organism and the external environment.

4. Cellular respiration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_respiration

   Respiration is one of the key ways a cell releases chemical energy to fuel cellular activity. The overall reaction occurs in a series of biochemical steps, some of which are redox reactions. Although cellular respiration is technically a combustion reaction , it is an unusual one because of the slow, controlled release of energy from the series ...

5. Respiratory tract - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_tract

   Respiration is the rhythmical process of breathing, in which air is drawn into the alveoli of the lungs via inhalation and subsequently expelled via exhalation. When a human being inhales, air travels down the trachea, through the bronchial tubes, and into the lungs. The entire tract is protected by the rib cage, spine, and sternum. In the ...

8. Control of ventilation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_of_ventilation

   Ventilation facilitates respiration. Respiration refers to the utilization of oxygen and balancing of carbon dioxide by the body as a whole, or by individual cells in cellular respiration. [1] The most important function of breathing is the supplying of oxygen to the body and balancing of the carbon dioxide levels.
