The carotid body originates from the neural crest during embryonic development and one of the best known oxygen sensory tissues of the body. It has been extensively studied, in part because it has a well defined function in regulating the respiratory rate and in part because the afferent nerve can be readily isolated and the chemosensory activity measured. In the carotid body, the primary sensor has been shown to be mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, through the reaction of oxygen with cytochrome c oxidase (Wilson et al. 1994; Wilson et al, this proceedings). This has raised questions concerning the mechanism (s) of the oxygen pressures at which oxygen sensing occurs. The oxygen dependence of the cytochrome c oxidase reaction of mitochondria has been the subject of controversy, with reports that it is oxygen concentration dependent only below about 1 mm Hg (Chance, 1988) or that it is oxygen dependent at 30 mm Hg and below (Wilson et al. 1979). Thus, in order to understand oxygen sensing by the carotid body it is important to know the oxygen pressure in the cells of the carotid body.
