Question

multiple choice question
control of respiration is based on input from ____ that monitor lung inflation and ____ that monitor o₂, co₂, and ph.
o chemoreceptors; mechanoreceptors
o mechanoreceptors; chemoreceptors
o proprioceptors; thermoreceptors
o nociceptors; proprioceptors

Explanation:

Mechanoreceptors detect physical changes like lung inflation. Chemoreceptors detect chemical changes such as levels of \(O_2\), \(CO_2\), and \(pH\).

Answer:

B. mechanoreceptors; chemoreceptors
