Abstract

Firstly, like previous speakers, I would like to pay tribute to John and Hazel Coleridge -both to their seminal research work in the field of cardiovascular receptors, and secondly to them personally. I have known John and Hazel for some 30 years and, over this time, despite the trans-Atlantic gulf between us, we have managed to keep in touch. On more than one occasion, I made visits to work with them in New York and San Francisco -from which our joint publications date. I would like to talk very briefly about some of the work we did together on the thoracic arterial chemoreceptors, the so-called “aortic bodies”, by way of introduction to some studies that I carried out subsequently on my own on the “abdominal paraganglia” -putative abdominal chemoreceptors -using the same investigative approach.
