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.

The human carotid body in sensing and signaling of oxygen and inflammation [PDF]
, 2014 Oxygen is essential for cell survival and global oxygenation is closely monitored in order to protect tissues from hypoxic damage. The carotid body is an important systemic oxygen sensor responding to hypoxia and a multitude of other blood borne stimuli,

The Logic of Carotid Body Connectivity to the Brain.
Physiology, 2019 The carotid body has emerged as a therapeutic target for cardio-respiratory-metabolic diseases. With the expansive functions of the chemoreflex, we sought mechanisms to explain differential control of individual responses.

Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 2002 Carotid body paragangliomas were diagnosed by Doppler ultrasound, carotid artery angiography, and cranial computed tomography in a 35-year-old man with a mass in the neck and hearing loss, and in a 42-year-old man with headache, syncope, and a mass in the neck. They underwent successful surgical excision.

Carotid body tumor: a case report and literature review.
Journal of Radiology Case Reports, 2019 The carotid body is the largest collection of paraganglia in the head and neck and is found on the medial aspect of the carotid bifurcation bilaterally. Carotid body tumors are rare neoplasms arising from the chemoreceptor cells of the carotid bulb.

Rotenone selectively occludes sensitivity to hypoxia in rat carotid body glomus cells [PDF]
, 2003 Carotid body glomus cells release transmitters in response to hypoxia due to the increase of excitability resulting from inhibition of O2 -regulated K+ channels. However, the mechanisms involved in the detection of changes of O2 tension are unknown.

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.

Role of carotid body for neuronal protection in experimental subarachnoid haemorrhage [PDF]
, 2013 Objective: Carotid bodies are known as main arterialchemoregulatory units. Despite well known that carotidbodies have an important role in cerebral circulation andblood pH regulation, their roles has not been investigatedin subarachnoid haemorrhage.

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.

Nature Communications, 2018 Asthma accounts for 380,000 deaths a year. Carotid body denervation has been shown to have a profound effect on airway hyper-responsiveness in animal models but a mechanistic explanation is lacking.
