Chemoreceptor Cells

More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: Cells specialized to detect chemical substances and relay that information centrally in the nervous system. Chemoreceptor cells may monitor external stimuli, as in TASTE and OLFACTION, or internal stimuli, such as the concentrations of OXYGEN and CARBON DIOXIDE in the blood.  note category: do not confuse with chemoreceptor proteins   
Examples Neuroepithelial Cells; Olfactory Receptor Neurons; Paraganglia, Nonchromaffin; Taste Buds 		Other names Chemoreceptor Cell; Chemoreceptive Cell; Cells, Chemoreceptor; Cells, Chemoreceptive; Cell, Chemoreceptor; Cell, Chemoreceptive; Chemoreceptive Cells
