Considered oxygen receptor neuroepithelial cells, airway chemoreceptors play a key role in the survival of various species: having neuroendocrine functions that detect signal changes in external and internal environments and carrying their signals to the central nervous system. Reflecting recent research into the cellular and molecular biology of chemoreceptors, this book provides a comprehensive, up-to-date account of the morphological, physiological and evolutionary aspects of specialized cells distributed within the ...

Considered oxygen receptor neuroepithelial cells, airway chemoreceptors play a key role in the survival of various species: having neuroendocrine functions that detect signal changes in external and internal environments and carrying their signals to the central nervous system. Reflecting recent research into the cellular and molecular biology of chemoreceptors, this book provides a comprehensive, up-to-date account of the morphological, physiological and evolutionary aspects of specialized cells distributed within the epithelia of airways in vertebrates. It highlights studies into chemoreceptor response to changes in oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations in the environment.
