corpora paraaortica

corpora paraaortica
[TA] para-aortic bodies: exclaves of glandular cells of sympathetic origin (chromaffin cells) found near the sympathetic ganglia along the aorta in the abdominal cavity; they serve as chemoreceptors responsive to oxygen, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen ion concentration and help to control respiration. Called also aortic, vagal, or Zuckerkandl bodies and glomera aortica.
