Chemoreceptors, nervous stimuli from the lungs, and impulses from the brain help in this process. The blood-brain barrier is permeable to CO2, thus receptors can measure the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the cerebrospinal fluid. From there, respiratory rate is controlled, with carbon dioxide having priority over oxygen.
