Acute oxygen sensing: diverse but convergent mechanisms in airway and arterial chemoreceptors
Airway neuroepithelial bodies sense changes in inspired O(2), whereas arterial O(2) levels are monitored primarily by the carotid body. Both respond to hypoxia by initiating corrective cardiorespiratory reflexes, thereby optimising gas exchange in the face of a potentially deleterious O(2) supply. O...
