From 1775 to 1780, Fontana traveled in different parts of Europe to cultivate relationships with major scientists of the day, e.g., Lavoisier and Joseph Priesdey (1733-1804), accompanied by his student and future successor, Giovanni Fahroni. During this period, he studied the chemishy of poisons and also pneumatic chemistry. He published two papers with the Royal Society of Chemistiy on the latter topic. He also became, in studying the anatomy of venomous reptiles, one of... 

The microscopic anatomy of glomus cells in vertebrates has been described in the aortic and carotid bodies of mammals (59,88) and birds (48,68,71) and the carotid labyrinth of amphibians (40,49). Although there is reflex and neurophysiological evidence for 02-sensitive chemoreceptors in the gills of larval amphibia (44,45,83), they have not been examined microscopically. Reptiles do not appear to have distinct carotid bodies or labyrinths. However, clusters of glomus cells have been identified microscopically in the central cardiovascular region, in connective tissue around the pulmonary, carotid, and aortic arches in turtles and lizards (4,42,75).
