An example of direct chemoreceptors are the cells located on the tongue. When people taste food, it is because these cells respond to the chemicals in the food, sending a signal to thebrain to let the brain know about what's happening in the mouth. Specific regions of the mouth have areas which are targeted towards specific tastes, such as salty and sweet. This explains why foods can taste different as they are chewed and swallowed, and also why some foods have an aftertaste, as certain chemicals can take longer to stimulate the chemoreceptors.

Where are the central chemoreceptors located?
Central chemoreceptors of the central nervous system are located on the ventrolateral medullary surface.
Where are the pressoreceptors and chemoreceptors?
carotid body
Chemoreceptors that detect odors are called what?
olfactory receptors
Where are the sensory receptors sensitive to changes in oxygen levels in the blood located?
The baroreceptors, located in the carotid sinuses, respond to changes and absolute levels of blood pressure. These nerves go to centers in the brain stem and trigger changes in heart rate and venous tone.
The chemoreceptors in the carotid and aortic bodies are most sensitive to changes in blood?
pH. When CO2 (carbon dioxide) builds-up in the blood, in forms an acid compound with water called "carbonic acid." CO2 + H2O H2CO3
Why are taste and smell receptors classified as Chemoreceptors because they both respond to?
Chemoreceptors (chemical receptors) respond to chemicals in food and scents.
Taste and smell receptors are classified as chemoreceptors because they both respond to?
Chemoreceptors are classified as sensory cells or organs that respond to chemical stimuli. The nose and tongue are both equipped with chemoreceptors.
Explain the function of chemoreceptors in a regulating breathing?
The function of the chemoreceptors in regulating breathing is that they respond to low levels of oxyhemeglobin.
Which cells of the kidney are chemoreceptors that respond to changes in solute content of the filtrate?
macula densa cells
Does Olfaction result from the stimulation of chemoreceptors?
yes, they respond to chemicals trapped in the mucus of the nasal cavity
Do chemoreceptors respond to light energy?
some do, the protist Euglena has an eye-spot that allows it to swim toward light.
The Macula Densa cells respond to what?
Correct Answer: changes in solute content of the filtrate
What are the sensory receptors that are responsible for sensations of smell and taste?
chemoreceptors
How to help olfactory sense?
The smell that the living things smells depends with the sensory receptors that respond to the airborne chemicals. In human beings the chemoreceptors are located in the olfactory epithelium .
The receptors in the human nose are chemoreceptors mechanoreceptors nocireceptors which one is corrected?
chemoreceptors - for smell.
What does chemoreceptors play a role in the sense of?
Smell and Taste are the two senses that depend on chemoreceptors
Where are the central chemoreceptors located?
Central chemoreceptors of the central nervous system are located on the ventrolateral medullary surface.
