Peripheral arterial chemoreceptors and the evolution of the carotid body

Abstract There has been a reduction in the distribution of peripheral respiratory O2 chemoreceptors from multiple, dispersed sites in fish and amphibia to a single dominant receptor site in birds and mammals. In the process, the cells in the fish gill associated with O2 chemosensing (5-HT containing...
