Summary Introduction

To review:

The location of the sensory receptors within the body that are responsible for detecting the respiratory gases (oxygen and CO2 (carbon dioxide) in the blood.

Oxygen and CO2 move through the process of diffusion. Diffusion being a concentration-dependent phenomenon moves gases from the region of their higher concentration to the region of their lower concentrations. This concentration difference dictates, in which direction these gases will move.
