The receptors that are found in the cricoid bodies are in the cricoid sinuses and are connected to the respiratory centers that are located within the brainstem. The peripheral chemoreceptors in the cricoid bodies are responsible for all respiratory responses. The peripheral chemoreceptors that are located in the aortic bodies are found in the aortic arch within the heart. The receptors found in the aortic arch are directly related to the cardiovascular centers located within the brainstem. These receptors are responsible for the cardiovascular response that are connected to respiratory related chemical factors found in arterial blood. Peripheral chemoreceptors in the cricoid bodies have a high blood flow and are not sensitive to carbon monoxide or anemia while aortic bodies have low blood flow and are sensitive to carbon dioxide and anemia (Pittman, n.d.). Thus when a fever is present there is a decreased oxygen level, that would result in the body not getting oxygen rich blood causing anemia. When these two things happen it would set off an alarm to the peripheral chemoreceptors that are found in the aortic bodies. When the aortic bodies are alarmed they work to bring the body back to homeostasis which is needed by causing an increased metabolic
