chemoreceptor
This term is used exclusively within biological and medical registers to describe sensory mechanisms that respond to chemical stimuli. It is a technical descriptor for cells that translate chemical concentrations, such as carbon dioxide or glucose, into electrical signals for the nervous system.
In a clinical or academic context, it is often contrasted with mechanoreceptors, which respond to physical pressure or vibration. The term is typically used in discussions regarding homeostasis, respiratory regulation, and endocrine signaling.
