Question
Chapter 16, Problem 10bCP
Summary Introduction
To review:
An impact of elevated arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) on chemoreceptors in the medulla oblongata and in the aortic and carotid bodies.
Introduction:
Chemoreceptors are also referred to as chemosensors. These are special sensory receptors that perform the function of converting the inducer and production of a biological signal. There are various kinds of sensory receptors such as neuron, receptors present in the taste bud and many more.
