Descriptor English: Paraganglia, Nonchromaffin
Descriptor Spanish: Paraganglios no Cromafines
Descriptor paraganglios no cromafines
Scope note: Varios grupos de células quimiorreceptoras y de soporte asociadas con los vasos sanguíneos y los nervios (especialmente el glosofaríngeo y el vago). Los paraganglios no cromafines controlan el PH y las concentraciones de dióxido de carbono y oxígeno en la sangre y participan en el control respiratorio y quizás en el circulatorio. Se incluyen a los cuerpos aórtico y carotídeo, al glomus yugular y al glomus timpánico.

Scope note: Several clusters of chemoreceptive and supporting cells associated with blood vessels and nerves (especially the glossopharyngeal and vagus). The nonchromaffin paraganglia sense pH, carbon dioxide, and oxygen concentrations in the blood and participate in respiratory, and perhaps circulatory, control. They include the CAROTID BODY; AORTIC BODIES; the GLOMUS JUGULARE; and the GLOMUS TYMPANICUM.
