Are oxygen dependent K + channels essential for carotid body chemo-transduction?

The mechanism by which the carotid body senses hypoxia and causes an increase in spiking activity on the sinus nerve is not well resolved. Most experimental attention is focused on the glomus cell, a secretory cell which is apposed to the afferent nerve endings and which is the presumed site of oxyg...
