Detailed Solution

Central chemoreceptors are located in or near the medulla oblongata in the central nervous system. They respond to changes in H+ concentration or pCO2, or both, in cerebrospinal fluid. Peripheral chemoreceptors are located in the aortic bodies and in the carotid bodies. The peripheral chemoreceptors are sensitive to changes in pO2, H+, and pCO2 in the arterial blood.
