Are nociceptors a type of chemoreceptor?
No, a chemoreceptor is a type of nociceptor.
What is a chemoreceptor?
sensing the oxygen
What is chemoreceptor trigger zone?
The chemoreceptor trigger zone is a bilateral set of centers in the brainstem lying under the floor of the fourth ventricle.CTZ has connection with vomiting center and play indirectly to stimulate vomiting.. Electrical stimulation of these centers does not induce vomiting, but application of emetic drugs does - if and only if the vomition centers are intact. The chemoreceptor trigger zones function as emetic chemoreceptors for the vomition centers - chemical abnormalities in the body (e.g. emetic drugs, uremia, hypoxia and diabetic ketoacidosis) are sensed by these centers, which then send excitatory signs to the vomition centers. Many of the antiemetic drugs act at the level of the chemoreceptor trigger zone.
What means chemoreceptor?
Chemoreceptores can detect chemical stimuli.
What part of the brainstem that receives information from the chemoreceptor trigger zone?
Medulla Oblangota
What are the cells that detect smell called?
chemoreceptor.
What would a chemoreceptor allow you to do?
detect smell
The vomiting reflex is mediated by the?
No. The vomiting reflow is mediated by the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) in the medulla of the brainstem, which communicates with the vomiting center (to mediate the vomiting reflex)
What is the name of the type of receptor that responds to changes in the concentration of chemicals?
The name of the type of receptor that responds to changes in the concentration of chemicals is a chemoreceptor. These receptors are found in various parts of the body, such as the nose and taste buds, and they help detect and transmit signals related to smell and taste.
What receptor can detect changes in hydrogen ion concentration?
A chemoreceptor can detect changes in hydrogen ion concentration.
Vomiting reflex is mediated by the?
Chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) in the medulla of the brainstem, which communicates with the vomiting center (to mediate the vomiting reflex).
A stretch receptor is classified as a a chemoreceptor b mechanoreceptor c photoreceptor d thermoreceptor e all of these?
A stretch receptors is classified as a mechanoreceptor.
