Abstract
ALTHOUGH first mentioned in 17441, the first clear and accurate description of the carotid body was not published until 18622. However, modern knowledge of the structure of this organ dates from 19263. Since that time detailed macroscopic and microscopic studies of the structures found in the carotid bifurcation have been made on many different animal species. But in the Anthropoidea, except for the work of Sato4, only macroscopic studies of this region have so far been undertaken (18525, 18996, 19287, 19328, 19359,10). Sato's work is concerned only with the general histology of the organ and not its detailed innervation.
