Accepted Answer

Chemoreceptors are specialized cells that detect changes in chemical concentrations, particularly of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen ions. They are found in the carotid bodies and aortic bodies, which are small clusters of cells located near the major blood vessels. They are also found in the organs of taste and smell, which are responsible for detecting chemicals in food and air. However, they are not located in the skin.
