The carotid body arterial chemoreceptors constitute unique sensory
receptors capable of monitoring in an instant to instant fashion
the levels of arterial blood oxygen and carbon dioxide, capturing
any deviations from normality and initiating bodily homeostatic
reflexes aimed to correct the detected deviations. Chemoreceptor
cells of the carotid body constitute ideal models to study the
entire processes of O2-sensing as well as CO2-sensing. The Arterial
Chemoreceptors represents an updated review of the physiology of
the carotid body chemoreceptors. More importantly, the book
presents the trends in the field as it contains results in the
topics that are at the frontiers of future developments in
O2-sensing in chemoreceptor cells. Additionally, this volume
contains data from studies carried out in other O2-sensing tissues
including pulmonary vasculature and erythropoietin producing cells.
This book should be considered as a prime source of information and
as a guideline for every researcher in the field of arterial
chemoreception in the years to come. of hypoxic pulmonary
vasoconstriction and pulmonary hypertension as well as for
researchers in the field of erythropoietin.
