“…It has been reported in different species that the location of the carotid body may be variable. Its shape may be oval, triangular, ellipsoid, bilobed, nodular, or in two parts (Smith et al., 1982; Heath and Smith, 1989; Unur and Aycan, 1999). In this study in the rabbit, the form of the carotid body was usually found to be a single entity, oval in shape and situated between the internal and external carotid arteries.…”

The purpose of this study was to determine the morphology of the rabbit carotid body and its artery at the light microscopy level. The carotid body was situated between the internal and external carotid arteries after the bifurcation point of the common carotid artery. The carotid body was usually found to be a single, ovoid tissue mass but, in some cases it consisted of two or three parts. More carotid bodies were supplied by a single carotid body artery (glomic artery) which arose from the common carotid artery or the internal or external carotid arteries near the bifurcation point of the common carotid artery. In only one case were there two arteries which arose from opposite sides of the external carotid artery at its origin. There was a distinguishable sinus (glomic sinus) at the origin of the glomic artery. This artery had a thin wall with elastic laminae in the sinus area which become thinner distal to the sinus.
