Chemoreceptors Notes:
A chemoreceptor, also called a chemo sensor, is a specialized sensory that converts a chemical substance into a biological signal. The generated signal can be in the form of an action potential in the case of a neuron (chemoreceptor), or in the form of a neurotransmitter if the chemoreceptor is a specialized sensory receptor cell (e.g., the taste receptor in the taste buds).
