Description and Table of Contents

Description

This study deals with the fundamental mechanisms of oxygen sensing by organelles, cellular transduction and organic integrating response. The contributors discuss such topics as vascular and comparative aspects, oxgyen sensing mechanisms and central mechanisms and effectors.

Table of Contents

• Peripheral chemoreceptors
• vascular and comparative aspects
• the carotid body
• sensory mechanisms
• oxygen sensing mechanism
• peripheral chemoreceptor adaptations
• central effects of hypoxia
• airway mechanisms
• central mechanisms and effectors.
