- Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Peripheral chemoreceptors act principally to detect variation of the oxygen concentration in the arterial blood, whilst also monitoring arterial carbon dioxide and pH. They are located in the aortic body and carotid body, on the arch of the aorta and on the common carotid artery, respectively. The carotid bodies are most sensitive to changes in partial pressure of arterial oxygen and pH. The aortic bodies are most sensitive to the content of arterial oxygen. In contrast, the central chemoreceptors are relatively insensitive to oxygen concentration, and thus to hypoxia.
