The book describes how changes in respiration can affect the heart and circulation, with particular reference to the control of the two systems by small organs, known as chemoreceptors, which are situated in the neck and chest. These are stimulated when the body is partly deprived of an oxygen supply. Apart from a detailed description of the mechanisms by which the respiratory and circulatory systems are integrated the book also contains chapters which would appeal to those interested in the historical, morphological, medico-legal and clinical aspects of the subject.

Chapter 1 - Introduction ; Chapter 2 - Morphology of the peripheral arterial chemoreceptors ; Chapter 3 - Nature of chemoreceptor stimuli and chemoreceptor responses ; Chapter 4 - Methods of eliciting reflex responses ; Chapter 5 - Discovery of the respiratory functions ; Chapter 6 - Reflex effects on cardiovascular system: role of changes in respiration ; Chapter 7 - Effects of respiration on the cardiovascular system ; Chapter 8 - Central integration of respiratory and autonomic functions ; Chapter 9 - Carotid bodies: primary cardiovascular responses ; Chapter 10 - Aortic bodies: primary cardiovascular responses ; Chapter 11 - Primary reflex effects on the pulmonary and bronchial circulations ; Chapter 12 - Respiratory mechanisms modulating cardiovascular responses of chemoreceptor origin ; Chapter 13 - Role of brain stem defence area ; Chapter 14 - Peripheral chemoreceptor functions in the fetus and neonate ; Chapter 15 - Interactions between arterial chemoreceptors and other inputs ; Chapter 16 - Some conditions involving the integrative control of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems ; Chapter 17 - Clinical implications of chemoreceptor reflexes ; Chapter 18 - General conclusions
