What would a chemoreceptor allow you to do?
detect smell
What are the cells that detect smell called?
chemoreceptor.
Are nociceptors a type of chemoreceptor?
No, a chemoreceptor is a type of nociceptor.
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 is a chemoreceptor?
sensing the oxygen
What senses are dependent on chemorecptors?
The two groups of chemoreceptors are the following:1- Central Chemorecepto- In the medulla oblongata, which measures PO2, PCO2 and the pH of CSF. (Cerebral spinal fluid)2- Peripheral Chemoreceptor - Contained in small nodules within the aorta and carotid bodies.
What means chemoreceptor?
Chemoreceptores can detect chemical stimuli.
Where is an ants sense of smell located?
the ants sense of smell is located in the antenae
What part of the brainstem that receives information from the chemoreceptor trigger zone?
Medulla Oblangota
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 bird locates its prey by smell?
Generally, birds of prey do not have a keen sense of smell. The vulture is one that does, and located their prey by 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)
