Editorial: Hypoxia and Cardiorespiratory Control.

When the oxygen content is insufficient, i.e., when hypoxia is loaded, respiratory and cardiovascular systems respond to restore, compensate, or adapt to hypoxia , e.g., by increasing ventilation and blood flow to maintain oxygen transport to vital organs. Traditionally, it has been thought that hypoxia is detected solely by carotid and aortic bodies , i.e., by peripheral chemoreceptors, and information from the peripheral chemoreceptors is transmitted to respiratory and cardiovascular centers in the brainstem whose respiratory and cardiovascular neural outputs are regulated.enAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/TRPA1astrocytecarotid bodyintermittent hypoxiaplasticitypulmonary hypertensionsleep apneasympathetic excitationAortic BodiesOxygenHypoxiaCardiovascular SystemBrain StemEditorial35002785open accessHipoxiaOxígenoPensamientoTronco EncefálicoCuerpos aórticosTransferencia de oxígeno10.3389/fphys.2021.820815PMC8727687https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2021.820815/pdfhttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8727687/pdf
