The correct answers are:

  • Heart rate
  • Respiration rate

Explanation:

  1. Body temperature: This is not directly regulated by arterial sense organs. Body temperature is primarily regulated by the hypothalamus in response to various internal and external factors.

  2. Heart rate: Arterial sense organs, such as baroreceptors and chemoreceptors, monitor blood pressure and blood chemistry, respectively. Changes in blood pressure and blood chemistry can lead to adjustments in heart rate to maintain homeostasis.

  3. Respiration rate: Chemoreceptors in arterial sense organs detect changes in blood chemistry, such as levels of carbon dioxide and oxygen. These changes can influence the respiration rate to ensure proper gas exchange and maintain pH balance.

  4. Blood sugar level: This is not directly regulated by arterial sense organs. Blood sugar levels are primarily regulated by hormones such as insulin and glucagon, which are secreted by the pancreas.

In summary, arterial sense organs play a role in regulating heart rate and respiration rate by monitoring blood chemistry and blood pressure.
