Turbellarians sense their environment with statocysts, chemoreceptors, and photoreceptors. |
This response is mediated primarily through the peripheral chemoreceptors. |
Central chemoreceptors are distributed at many locations within the brainstem. |
For this reason, we would not expect this to cause stimulation of the chemoreceptors, which would affect autonomic modulation. |
A variety of inputs from chemoreceptors and mechanoreceptors can contribute to the arousal response that terminates a period of apnea in OSA patients. |
The central hydrogen ion chemoreceptors are somewhat redundant, sensing the same stimulus as the carotid bodies. |
