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.

Introduction:

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.
