The carotid body (CB) is the main peripheral chemoreceptor for arterial respiratory gases O2
and CO2 and pH, eliciting reflex ventilatory, cardiovascular, and humoral responses to …

The carotid body (CB) is the main arterial chemoreceptor. The most accepted model of
arterial chemoreception postulates that carotid body glomus (type I) cells are the primary …

Acetylcholine (ACh) has been considered an important excitatory neurotransmitter in the
carotid body (CB). Its physiological and pharmacological effects, metabolism, release, and …

Neostigmine has been added to local anesthetics for central and peripheral nerve blocks
resulting in prolonged, increased anesthesia and improved analgesia. We conducted this …

Several molecules have been proposed as excitatory transmitters between glomus (type 1)
cells and nerve terminals of petrosal ganglion (PG) neurons in the carotid body (CB). We …

The peripheral arterial chemoreceptors of the carotid body participate in the ventilatory
responses to hypoxia and hypercapnia, the arousal responses to asphyxial apnea, and the …

Slender projections, similar to microvilli, are the main specialization of the perikaryal surface
of sensory ganglion neurons. The extent of these projections correlates closely with the …

The petrosal ganglion (PG) contains the somata of primary afferent neurons that innervate
the chemoreceptor (glomus) cells in the carotid body (CB). The most accepted model of CB …

A review is presented on carotid body ATP content, effects and release, receptors involved
and results of their block by purinergic antagonists, and the possibility of cholinergic …

Background: In our study, we investigated the effect of adding neostigmine to local
anesthetic on the supraclavicular brachial plexus block. Patients and Methods: This …
