Abstract:This review will focus on the basic mechanisms of the peripheral chemoreceptors elicited by studies on mature chemoreceptors and on the alterations observed in these structures related to sudden infant death. The integrated response of the peripheral chemoreceptors consists of the transduction of alterations in the chemical milieu, regulating the temperature of their environment to alterations in cardiovascular and respiratory performance. Over the years, much has been written about the relative importance of … Show more
