Is breathing automatic?


Question:

Answers:
Breathing is normally autonomic, but we do have control over it when we think about it. This makes it somewhat unique in the autonomic nervous system.

If I take two Vicodan, it knocks out the autonomic part of the system and I have to think about breathing. That's really fun. /sarcasm

Other Answers:
Yes. That's why you breathe when you sleep.
Yes! Breathing is known as one of our "autonomic" body functions; we don't have control over it, it does it automatically until we tell it not to. Thats why we breathe while we sleep, as well as metabolize, and pump blood through our bodies.
yep its an autonomic nerve response so if you can hold your breath till you pass out you will start breathing again. and in one flew over the cookoos nest when the indian smothers jack nicolas's character he does fight back and it is resonably accurate even after a full frontal lobotomy.
Yes.. It's controlled by your autonomic nervous system..
