Evolution of the hypoxia-sensitive cells involved in amniote respiratory reflexes

Evolution of the hypoxia-sensitive cells involved in amniote respiratory reflexes

The evolutionary origins of the hypoxia-sensitive cells that trigger amniote respiratory reflexes – carotid body glomus cells, and ‘pulmonary neuroendocrine cells’ (PNECs) - are obscure. Homology has been proposed between glomus cells, which are neural crest-derived, and the hypoxia-sensitive ‘neuro...
