Distribution of transient receptor potential channels in the rat carotid chemosensory pathway

Glomus cells in the carotid body respond to decreases in oxygen tension of the blood and transmit this sensory information in the carotid sinus nerve to the brain via neurons in the petrosal ganglion. G‐protein‐coupled membrane receptors linked to phospholipase C may play an important role in this r...
