Abstract
1. Carotid body blood flow (c.b.f.), the arterio—venous oxygen (A—V O2) difference and oxygen consumption were measured in forty-seven cats, anaesthetized with pentobarbitone, paralysed with gallamine and ventilated artificially. Carotid sinus and cervical sympathetic nerves were intact throughout.
