The respiratory centers that control your rate of breathing are in the brainstem or medulla.
Specialized nerve cells within the aorta and carotid arteries called peripheral chemoreceptors monitor the oxygen concentration of the blood and feed back on the respiratory centers.
Peripheral chemoreceptors also monitor the carbon dioxide concentration in the blood. In addition, a central chemoreceptor in the medulla monitors the carbon dioxide concentration in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that surrounds the brain and spinal cord; carbon dioxide diffuses easily into the CSF from the blood. If the carbon dioxide concentration gets too high, then both types of chemoreceptors signal the respiratory centers to increase the rate and depth of breathing
The peripheral and central chemoreceptors are also sensitive to the pH of the blood and CSF.

Actions taken when someone inhaled a chemical agent?
If someone has inhaled a chemical agent, immediately move them to fresh air to minimize further exposure. Call emergency services for medical assistance and monitor their breathing and consciousness. If the person is breathing and conscious, try to keep them calm and comfortable; if they are unconscious and not breathing, begin CPR if trained. Avoid leaving the person alone and provide any information about the chemical agent to emergency responders.
When the level of increases in the blood chemical receptors will the medulla oblongata?
when the level of oxygen increases in the blood , chemical receptors will inhibit the medulla oblongata
What regulates chemical environment of neurons?
astrocytes
Why are taste and smell receptors classified as Chemoreceptors because they both respond to?
Taste and smell receptors are classified as chemoreceptors because they both respond to chemical stimuli. These receptors detect specific molecules in the environment and send signals to the brain, which are then interpreted as taste or smell.
How are brain sensory receptors classified?
As chemical reacions
What is the relationship between olfactory and gustatory receptors?
Gustatory receptors are part of the sense of taste. They are in your mouth. Olfactory receptors are part of the sense of smell. They are in your nose.
What stimulate the chemoreceptor?
Chemoreceptors are stimulated by changes in the chemical composition of the environment, such as changes in the concentration of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and pH levels. These receptors are responsible for detecting and transmitting information about these chemical changes to the brain, which helps regulate important physiological processes like breathing and blood pH.
The olfactory receptors are examples of what type of ceptors?
The olfactory receptors are examples of chemoreceptors, which are sensory receptors that respond to chemical stimuli in the environment. In the case of olfactory receptors, they detect odor molecules in the air.
What are taste and smell receptors classified as?
Taste receptors are classified as chemoreceptors, specialized sensory receptors that respond to chemical stimuli in the form of tastes. Smell receptors are classified as olfactory receptors, which are designed to detect and respond to odor molecules in the environment.
What is the sensory organ for smell?
"olfactory" They are chemical receptors, in your nasal sinuses.
