Abstract

The oxygen sensors monitor oxygen tension in the organism and trigger appropriate feedback responses when the tension declines. Peripheral chemoreceptors in the carotid and aortic bodies, and erythropoietin (Epo) producing cells in the kidney are the most notoriously known oxygen sensors.KeywordsOxygen TensionHeme OxygenaseHeme ProteinHeme SynthesisPeripheral ChemoreceptorThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
