Abstract
Already in 1935, Bogue and Stella recorded carotid sinus nerve activity during ischaemia, and observed a long lasting activation which they attributed to carotid chemoreceptors. However, according to experiments by Wiemer and Ott (1963) this activity originated mainly in baroreceptor fibres whereas chemoreceptor activity decreased after a short initial excitation. Having studied the response of chemoreceptors to anoxia and ischaemia in more detail (Wiemer et al., 1981; Müller et al., 1982), we now extended these investigations to carotid baroreceptors.
