Which of the following are chemoreceptors?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chemoreceptors are receptors that detect changes in chemical composition, specifically oxygen, carbon dioxide, and pH levels. The aortic and carotid bodies are specialized chemoreceptors that monitor changes in oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood.

The other choices are not chemoreceptors. Hair cells in the cochlea are mechanoreceptors that detect sound waves, receptors that mediate the Hering-Breuer reflex are stretch receptors in the lung that detect lung inflation, and baroreceptors in the aortic and carotid arch detect changes in blood pressure.
