👉 The term "chemoreception" refers to the process by which a person detects changes in their environment through the release of chemical signals from their body. This can include detecting changes in temperature, pressure, humidity, or other physical stimuli, as well as detecting the presence of chemicals and other substances. Chemoreceptors are specialized cells located on the surface of the skin that detect these changes and send signals to the brain, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of the environment around them.
