Morphofunctional and Neurochemical Aspects of the Mammalian Carotid Body

Morphofunctional and Neurochemical Aspects of the Mammalian Carotid Body

Morphofunctional and Neurochemical Aspects of the Mammalian Carotid Body is a detailed academic resource from the series Advances in Anatomy, Embryology and Cell Biology. This book explores the morphofunctional organization of the mammalian carotid body, a highly specialized chemosensory organ involved in blood gas homeostasis and oxygen sensing.

It highlights the neurochemical anatomy of different cell populations, their structural plasticity and neurochemical plasticity, along with the role of the carotid body in respiratory physiology and disease mechanisms. With discussions on hypoxia, neural signaling, and pathology, the book bridges fundamental science with clinical applications and therapeutic potential.

Written for physiologists, anatomists, developmental biologists, physicians, veterinarians, and biomedical researchers, this text also serves as a valuable student resource and reference material for those studying biomedical sciences and medical education.
