Summary
This PR fixes the anatomical classification of the carotid body (UBERON:0001629) by changing its system membership from cardiovascular to peripheral nervous system, as requested in issue #3591.
Changes Made:

According to the current definition and evidence from PMID:32965908, the carotid body is "a sensory organ in the peripheral nervous system located in the adventitia of the bifurcation of the common carotid artery". While the structure is anatomically adjacent to the carotid artery bifurcation, it is functionally and developmentally not part of the cardiovascular system - it belongs to the peripheral nervous system as a chemoreceptive sensory organ.
