Chemoreceptors are Group IV afferents which are sensitive not only to acid metabolites in muscles but also to prostaglandins and bradykinin.
Mucus is temporally the first cue of an approaching anemone and would activate
chemoreceptors only.
Gauda, Elizabeth Cristofalo, and Jeanne Nunez, "Peripheral arterial
chemoreceptors and sudden infant death syndrome," Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology 157, no.
Evaluating the importance of the carotid
chemoreceptors in controlling breathing during exercise in man.
The central pathways involve the carotid body
chemoreceptors, the inspiratory neurons in the medulla and the higher cortex.
Respiration during sleep is controlled by the interaction between brainstem centers, respiratory apparatus (inspiratory musculature, pulmonary parenchyma) and
chemoreceptors. Tight correlation between the ventilatory cycle duration and left ventricular ejection fraction has led to a conclusion that low cardiac output and timely transport of the chemostimuli to the
chemoreceptors are responsible for the prolonged ventilatory cycle in CHF patients (70).
Taste buds on the tongue located in the grooves between the papillae are also
chemoreceptors that work similarly to the olfactory receptors in the nasal cavity.
Recently, our understanding of the function of non-CB
chemoreceptors was greatly expanded by the demonstration that the TRPA1 channel is an essential element for [O.sub.2] sensing in non-CB
chemoreceptors.
Feeding behavior or preference for particular host species depends on the various sensilla present on the insects' mouthparts, including olfactory, gustatory, and mechanosensory ones, which are involved in sensory perception via
chemoreceptors (Dey et al.
Currently there is little data on the effect of age on the sensitivity of peripheral
chemoreceptors to carbon dioxide.
It receives afferent signals from peripheral and central
chemoreceptors, stretch receptors in lung, and higher cortical centers [6].
Specifically, acid sensitive
chemoreceptors, present in both the peripheral carotid and aortic bodies and the central nervous system, measure changes in hydrogen ions secondary to increases in C[O.sub.2] tension.
