However, the sensory mechanisms 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 enveloped by glial-like processes of type II, or sustentacular, cellsa,4,19. Sensory fibers from the carotid sinus nerve penetrate the glomeruli to terminate in synaptic-like apposition on type I cellst,18, 21. eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Neurofisiología Alpha-bungarotoxin binding in cat carotid body info:eu-repo/semantics/article
