What Is Involuntary Respiration?


Open in App
Solution

Involuntary Respiration:

  1. It's a type of breathing regulation that doesn't require conscious, direct control. Where voluntary respiration is not feasible, such as when we are sleeping, involuntary respiration allows us to breathe.
  2. Involuntary respiration is controlled by respiratory centers in the upper brainstem, which are also in charge of a variety of metabolic and involuntary activities, including some elements of cardiovascular function and involuntary muscular movements.
