Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Arterial chemoreceptors are specialized cells in the walls of certain blood vessels that detect changes in the levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and pH in the blood. They play an important role in regulating respiration, ensuring that the body has adequate levels of oxygen and that excess carbon dioxide is efficiently eliminated. Blood pressure, nutrient levels, and hormone levels are not directly detected by arterial chemoreceptors.
