Detailed Solution
Chemoreceptors are specialised neurons that respond to changes in chemicals in solution. The chemoreceptors involved in the regulation of respiration respond to changes in hydrogen ion concentrations, changes in pCO2, or both. They modulate the activity of the respiratory centres. Central chemoreceptors are located in the chemosensitive area of the medulla oblongata adjacent to the respiratory rhythm centre. Peripheral chemoreceptors associated with aortic arch (aortic bodies) and carotid artery (carotid bodies).Coronary artery has no chemoreceptors that regulate ventilation.
