The effect of carbon dioxide on the activity of cilia. A study on rabbit sinus mucosa in vitro
Abstract:
The relation of ciliary activity to the partial pressure of carbon dioxide was studied with a photoelectric method on rabbit sinus mucosa in vitro. A dose-response relationship was found, where by ciliary activity was impaired at pCO2 above 5 kPa. The effect of elevated partial pressure of carbon dioxide on ciliary activity in secretory otitis media and sinusitis is discussed.
