Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The peripheral chemoreceptors that monitor respiratory gasses and blood acidity levels are located in the carotid bodies, which are located at the bifurcation of the common carotid artery. These chemoreceptors are activated by changes in the partial pressure of oxygen (PO2), carbon dioxide (PCO2), and pH in the blood. The other options listed are not directly involved in the monitoring of respiratory gases and blood acidity levels.
