The relationship between neuronal activity of chemoreceptor fibers and tissue $$P_{O_2 }$$ of the carotid body of the cat during changes in arterial $$P_{O_2 }$$ and blood pressure.

The relationship between $$P_{GO_2 }$$ , $$P_{aO_2 }$$ , local blood flow, and the activity of individual chemoreceptor fiber units of the cat's carotid body was studied during changes in the arterial oxygen partial pressure and the arterial systemic blood pressure. The following results were obtained: [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
