Abstract
Breathing is controlled automatically (via chemo- and mechanoreceptors strategically located throughout the body) and can be voluntarily controlled as well. Volitional and automatic mechanisms can drive the respiratory muscles over separate anatomical pathways to the spinal motor neurons (Plum, 1970; Euler, 1986).
