Notes:
Summary The oxygen consumption of the cat carotid body has been measuredin vitro using a confinement method. The oxygen consumption of the organ appears to be very high (1.14 ml STPD·min−1 per gram of dried tissue). The carotid body dry mass (0.044 mg) was much lower than the values found in the literature. The O2 consumption versus O2 tension relationship of this small organ shows no critical points as other organs generally do.
