AB The carotid body is an arterial chemosensory organ which detects changes inblood gas tensions and pH, and reflexly contributes to the cardiorespiratory adjustmentswhich occur during hypoxia, hypercapnia and acidosis. However, the sensorymechanisms involved in carotid chemoreception remain to be elucidated.Morphologically, the carotid body consists of an association of elemental units,or glomeruli, within a connective tissue stroma penetrated by a dense capillary net 5.The glomeruli are comprised of catecholamine-rich type I, or chief cells, which are envelopedby glial-like processes of type II, or sustentacular, cellsa,4,19. Sensory fibersfrom the carotid sinus nerve penetrate the glomeruli to terminate in synaptic-likeapposition on type I cellst,18, 21.
