Three of 60 cadavers have shown, in the adventitia or in the adipose tissue from the human carotid sinus region, small islands of tissue richly and typically vascularized and with nerve endings contacting cells like the tissue of the principal carotid body. In two of the cases such 'miniglomera' were single but in the third there were several all on the same side. A modified en bloc silver nitrate reduction stain was used to demonstrate the microvascular arrangements and the nerve endings by light microscopy of serial tangential sections of the carotid bifurcation.
在60具尸体中，有3具在人颈动脉窦区域的外膜或脂肪组织中显示出小块组织，这些组织血管丰富且典型，有神经末梢与细胞接触，类似于主要颈动脉体的组织。在其中2例中，这种“微型肾小球”是单个的，但在第3例中，同一侧有几个。使用改良的整体硝酸银还原染色法，通过对颈动脉分叉处连续切线切片进行光学显微镜观察，来显示微血管排列和神经末梢。
