Hemoreceptor

A chemoreflexor (or chemoreceptor apparatus) is a special biological mechanism of the human body that is capable of perceiving foreign intermediary substances, removing them and protecting the body from them. Unlike receptor fields, it is not a collection of individual sensory formations, but cholinergic thickenings of the afferent nerve endings of the abdominal aorta. They are usually located in the aortic arch or the anterior surface of the descending aorta, less often at the base of the heart. This point begins to function immediately after birth, about a month or a little later. After installation, the substance molecules from the blood enter the receptors of the chemoreflux organs. If they are xenobiotics or pathogenic agents, then the chemoreceptors immediately begin to work, signaling the need for their removal or elimination. Along with them, it also produces specific physiological effects. However, due to the reactive nature of chemoreceptors, treatment of any pathological condition should be carried out using drugs that are not addictive.
