In this review we discuss the implications for ventilatory control of newer evidence
suggesting that central and peripheral chemoreceptors are not functionally separate but …

In humans respiratory chemoreceptors are located centrally in the medulla (Nattie, 2010)
and peripherally in the carotid bodies (Torrance, 1996; Kumar & Bin-Jaliah, 2007). Does the …

The major objective of this review is to evaluate existing information and reach conclusions
regarding whether there is interaction between Pco2/H+ stimulation of carotid (peripheral) …

We used extracorporeal perfusion of the reversibly isolated carotid sinus region to determine
the effects of specific carotid body (CB) chemoreceptor inhibition on eupneic ventilation …

Dyspnea, or the uncomfortable awareness of respiratory distress, is a common symptom
experienced by most people at some point during their lifetime. It is commonly encountered …

We assessed the contribution of carotid body chemoreceptors to the ventilatory response to
specific CNS hypercapnia in eight unanaesthetized, awake dogs. We denervated one …

Interaction between central (brainstem) and peripheral (carotid body) respiratory
chemosensitivity is vital to protect blood gases against potentially deleterious fluctuations …

Carotid body chemoreceptors are essential for time-dependent changes in ventilatory
control during chronic hypoxia. Early theories of ventilatory acclimatization to hypoxia …

To some it may seem that we now know less about respiratory chemoreception than we did
20 years ago. Back then, it was widely accepted that the central respiratory chemoreceptors …

Key Points The influence of specific carotid body (CB) normoxic hypocapnia, hypercapnia
and normocapnia on the ventilatory sensitivity of central chemoreceptors to systemic …
