Where in the body can you find chemoreceptors?

A. on the skin and ears, to detect pressure, touch, motion, and sound

B. on the retina, to detect a single photon of light

C. on the skin, to detect temperature or specific chemicals

D. on the tongue and in the nose, to detect taste or odor

Respuesta :

There are four types of sensory receptors that respond to one of the four primary stimuli.

Thermoreceptors detect temperature changes in the environment.

Mechanoreceptors detect changes in pressure

Photoreceptors detect the photons composing light

Chemoreceptors detect chemical stimuli and are found inside the body (for example blood vessels). They are also responsible for our sense of taste and smell.

Thus, the correct answer to the question is D. on the tongue and in the nose, to detect taste or odor.

Answer:

The answer is D
