A Component That Detects Decreasing Oxygen Concentrations in Blood Would

Question

A component that detects decreasing oxygen concentrations in blood would be the
A)receptor
B)muscle
C)response
D)effector

Accepted Answer

A receptor is a component that detects changes in a specific parameter or stimulus, such as oxygen concentration in the blood. In this case, the receptor would detect decreasing oxygen concentrations in the blood. The other options (muscle, response, and effector) do not specifically relate to the detection of decreasing oxygen concentrations in the blood.
