Question

What is produced during hypoxia in type 1 glomus cells in carotid bodies?

Answer 1

Glomus cell. ... When there is a decrease in the blood's pH, a decrease in oxygen (pO2), or an increase in carbon dioxide (pCO2), the carotid bodies and the aortic bodies signal the medulla oblongata (specifically the dorsal inspiratory center in the medulla oblongata) to increase the volume and rate of breathing

Answer 2

Glomus type I cells are secretory sensory neurons that release neurotransmitters in response to hypoxemia (low $pO_2$), hypercapnia (high $pCO_2$) or acidosis (low pH). Signals are transmitted to the afferent nerve fibers of the sinus nerve and may include dopamine, acetylcholine, and adenosine.
