MORPHOLOGICAL AND NEW NEUROCHEMICAL ASPECTS OF THE MAMMALIAN CAROTID BODY
The carotid body (CB) is a polymodal chemosensory organ that plays an essential role in initiating respiratory and cardiovascular adjustments to maintain blood gas homeostasis. It is strategically located at the carotid bifurcation. The CB works in concert with the apposing afferent nerve endings of...
