Best Answer

breathing is controlled by the level of co2 in the blood, (not due to the fact that there may be low amounts of o2), there are chemoreceptors that measure the pH level of the blood, remember that co2 can be transported in the blood as carbonic acid, thus this acid lowers the pH. if a low pH is detected, it sends nerve impulses to our brain, that stimulates us to breathe in an effort to get rid of the co2.
