 | | Treatment The treatment of choice for most carotid body paragangliomas is surgical excision. | | | The function of the carotid body is related to its role in the autonomic control of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. | | | Histologically, the paraganglioma is similar to the normal carotid body except that clusters tend to be larger(Zellballen formation). |

| | Mit Hängen und Würgen: Carotid sinus reflex death - a theory and its history |
| | Although unilateral carotid body massage, which involves applying pressure to one side of the neck only, is a therapeutic technique used in medicine to slow a fast heart rate, bilateral massage is never applied unless resuscitative equipment is available in case of cardiac arrest. | | | The carotid sinus is a focal area of enlargement of the common carotid artery at the point it bifurcates into the external and internal carotid arteries. | | | While the presence of congestive/petechial signs means with some certainty that no carotid sinus reflex death has taken place, one can not simply conclude that in their absence a carotid sinus reflex death must have been the cause of death. |

| | Our first choice in vessels for the embalming of the unautopsied body in the 1990s has been and continues to be the use of both the right and left common carotid arteries—restricted cervical injection. | | | It is rare today that we see any body that still has body heat, discolorations are present in and on almost every body, delays can last several days when a medical examiner’s office is involved or the deceased is a long bone donor. | | | The femoral vessels in the obese body can be quite deep seated and may be difficult to raise to the surface of the incision. |

| | Prenatal hypoxia impairs the postnatal development of neural and functional chemoafferent pathway in rat -- Peyronnet ... |
| | In the carotid bodies of the Cont group, a gradual increase in the levels of dopamine and its main metabolite DOPAC was observed from 1 to 9 weeks of age. | | | The ventilatory response to hypoxia was used to determine the degree of functional integrity of the chemoreflex pathway. | | | In the Hypo rats, the reduced dopamine content in carotid bodies might contribute to the lack of significant hypoxic response thus suggesting that these rats were less sensitive than the controls. |

| | The afferent impulses from the carotid bodies travel in the glossopharyngeal (IXth cranial) nerve and those from the aortic bodies are conveyed by the vagus (Xth cranial) nerve. | | | The vasoconstriction in the contralateral, un-immersed hand and other parts of the body is due to the reflex action alone. | | | The other set is the aortic baroreceptors located in the wall of the arch of the aorta (see diagram on cardiovascular reflex pathway). |

| | Whenever external carotid embolization is performed, care must be taken to avoid inadvertent extracranial-intracranial embolization and the subsequent the risk of stroke. | | | Glomus tumors are believed to result from an overresponse to a change in body homeostasis. | | | The major paraganglia that do not undergo involution are the carotid bodies. |

| | Glomus body - Enpsychlopedia |
| | The role of the glomus body is to shunt blood away from the skin surface when exposed to cold temperature, thus preventing heat loss, and allowing maximum heat flow to the skin in warm weather to allow heat to dissipate. | | | The glomus body is not to be confused with the glomus cell which is a kind of chemoreceptor found in the carotid bodies and aortic bodies. | | | A glomus body (or glomus apparatus) is a component of the dermis layer of the skin, involved in body temperature regulation. |

| | The sensitivity of Carotid bodies differs in different people. | | | In some people, especially women, the Carotid bodies are so sensitive to pressure that a mere touch on the neck would cause the heart to slow down or even stop. | | | This causes the Carotid bodies to interpret ( although falsely) that there was an abnormal rise in blood pressure. |
