Abstract
It is known that the carotid bodies is an important chemoreceptor to mediate respiratory and cardiovascular responses to hypoxia. Therefore, the knowledge of these response activities during hypoxia in humans without these receptors may contribute to clarify the role of the carotid bodies in man. This study is important because considerable species differences have been reported in respiratory and cardiovascular responses to hypoxia (Comroe, 1939; Fitzgerald and Lahiri, 1986; Daly, 1986).
