Swedish to English Medical Medical (general) Breathing
Hello

I wonder if there is a term for this and it's not for lack of trying to find it

Den automatiska andningen har en ***överordnad funktion*** och kan ta över andningen om det behövs, exempelvis om du håller andan för länge.

thanks in advance

Christopher Schröder Sep 11, 2020:
No there isn’t. It’s a badly written sentence anyway. Automatic breathing is what you do by default and doesn’t just kick in in an emergency. I think Adrian’s suggestion is best if you choose not to rewrite it: the system will override you if you override it for too long...

override function

Override if it can take over the breathing, rather than an overriding - namely an over-acrching - one.

A superordinate term is one, palpably, used in lexicology.

I will refrain from 'Easy Rider' jokes I have heard from US / Cuban sources in Miami, Florida.
Example sentence:

Humans are also able to voluntarily override automatic respiration, allowing breath holding and prolonged vocalizations.
