CAROTID BODY TRANSMITTERS ACTIONS ON RABBIT PETROSAL GANGLION IN VITRO

The petrosal ganglion (PG) that innervate the carotid body (CB) are activated by transmitters released from the CB receptor (type I, glomus) cells, resulting in the carotid nerve (CN) chemosensory activity. Although the exact transmitter(s) of this synapse is unknown, several molecules present in th...

Sumario:The petrosal ganglion (PG) that innervate the carotid body (CB) are activated by transmitters released from the CB receptor (type I, glomus) cells, resulting in the carotid nerve (CN) chemosensory activity. Although the exact transmitter(s) of this synapse is unknown, several molecules present in the CB may play a role in the generation and/or maintenance of the afferent activity (Eyzaguirre & Zapata, 1984; González et al. 1994).
