Question

What are the names of the chemoreceptors that respond to molecules in air and water

Answer 1

Particular chemoreceptors, called ASICs, detect the levels of carbon dioxide in the blood. ... peripheralchemoreceptors: consists of aortic and carotid bodies. Aortic body detects changes in blood oxygen and carbon dioxide, but not pH, while carotid body detects all three

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is peripheral chemoreceptors.

Explanation:

The peripheral chemoreceptors are named so as they are considered as the sensory extensions of the PNS into the blood vessels where they determine variations in the chemical quantities. These polymodal sensors react towards the changes in the number of blood properties, comprising the peripheral chemoreceptors in air versus water breathers.  

The peripheral chemoreceptors comprise carotid and aortic bodies. The aortic body determines variations in the carbon dioxide and oxygen present in the blood, however, not the pH, while the carotid body determines all the three.
