Abstract
In other papers in this volume Knoche and Kienecker have demonstrated that after suture of the cut carotid sinus nerve regeneration of mature nerve terminals within the carotid body occurred after 7-8 weeks. After 4 weeks the first axon sprouts reappeared in the vicinity of the type I cells, and 1 week later the first contacts were formed between nerve endings and the so-called specific cells. This slow rate of regeneration has enabled us to study whether receptor fiber units respond to hypoxia and hypercapnia before nerve terminals are apposed to the glomus cells.
