|
|
|
chemoreceptors
|
|
|
proprioceptors
|

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Central chemoreceptors, located in cells in the respiratory center at the base of the medulla of your brain, monitor the levels of carbon dioxide and oxygen by detecting changes in the pH levels of the cerebral spinal fluid.
Detailed explanation-2: -Particular chemoreceptors, called ASICs, detect the levels of carbon dioxide in the blood. To do this, they monitor the concentration of hydrogen ions in the blood, which decrease the pH of the blood.
