THE GROSS AND MICROSCOPIC ANATOMY OF THE CAROTID BODY OF AN ENDOGENOUS DUCK
The Iraqi Journal of Veterinary Medicine, 1996 The carotid body in an endogenous duck was closely related to the ventral surface of the common carotid bifurcation zone caudal to the parathyroid glands. The carotid body was characterized by its compact and fusiform shape.

Activation of the Carotid Body by Kappa Opioid Receptors Mitigates Fentanyl-Induced Respiratory Depression. [PDF]
Function (Oxf)Previous studies reported that opioids depress breathing by inhibiting respiratory neural networks in the brainstem. The effects of opioids on sensory inputs regulating breathing are less studied.

Pathogenic Roles of the Carotid Body Inflammation in Sleep Apnea
Mediators of Inflammation, 2014 Breathing difficulties in sleep are a hallmark of sleep-disordered breathing commonly observed in patients with sleep disorders. The pathophysiology of sleep apnea is in part due to an augmented activity of the carotid body chemoreflex.

Identification of Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) Mutation in Carotid Body Paraganglioma
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021 Carotid body paragangliomas (PGLs) are rare neuroendocrine tumors that develop within the adventitia of the medial aspect of the carotid bifurcation. Carotid body PGLs comprise about 65% of head and neck paragangliomas, however, their genetic background ...

Ageing of the carotid body [PDF]
The Journal of Physiology, 2018 AbstractThe ageing process is characterized by a decline in several physiological functions resulting in a reduced capability to maintain homeostasis. The lowered homeostatic capacity seems to involve the carotid body (CB), whose role is to modulate ventilation and tissue oxygen supply. It thus plays a prime role in all ageing processes.

The Importance of Flowmetry in Carotid Body Tumor Surgery: A Case Report
Eurasian Journal of Medicine, 2019 Carotid body tumors arise from the embryonic neural crest. These tumors are mostly benign, and they rarely show character. Bifurcation of the carotid body cells originates from a common carotid paraganglion; a tumoral mass lateral to the carotid ...
