  2. Ganglion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganglion

    A ganglion (pl.: ganglia) is a group of neuron cell bodies in the peripheral nervous system. In the somatic nervous system , this includes dorsal root ganglia and trigeminal ganglia among a few others.

  3. Sympathetic ganglia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathetic_ganglia

    The sympathetic ganglia, or paravertebral ganglia, are autonomic ganglia of the sympathetic nervous system. Ganglia are 20,000 to 30,000 afferent and efferent nerve cell bodies that run along on either side of the spinal cord. Afferent nerve cell bodies bring information from the body to the brain and spinal cord, while efferent nerve cell ...

  4. Cranial nerve ganglia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cranial_nerve_ganglia

    In neuroanatomy, the cranial nerve ganglia are ganglia of certain cranial nerves. They can be parasympathetic or sensory. [1] All cranial nerve ganglia are bilateral.

  5. Cranial nerves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cranial_nerves

    The cranial nerves give rise to a number of ganglia, collections of the cell bodies of neurons in the nerves that are outside of the brain. These ganglia are both parasympathetic and sensory ganglia. [10] The sensory ganglia of the cranial nerves, directly correspond to the dorsal root ganglia of spinal nerves and are known as cranial nerve ...

  6. Ganglion cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganglion_cell

    Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) found in the ganglion cell layer of the retina [1] Cells that reside in the adrenal medulla, where they are involved in the sympathetic nervous system's release of epinephrine and norepinephrine into the blood stream; Cells of the sympathetic ganglia; Cells of the parasympathetic ganglia; Cells of the spiral ganglia [2]

  7. Autonomic ganglion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomic_ganglion

    An autonomic ganglion is a cluster of nerve cell bodies (a ganglion) in the autonomic nervous system. The two types are the sympathetic ganglion and the parasympathetic ganglion . [ 1 ] [ 2 ]

  8. Trigeminal ganglion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigeminal_ganglion

    The trigeminal ganglion (also known as: Gasserian ganglion, semilunar ganglion, or Gasser's ganglion) is the sensory ganglion of each trigeminal nerve (CN V). The trigeminal ganglion is located within the trigeminal cave (Meckel's cave) , a cavity formed by dura mater .

  9. Parasympathetic ganglia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasympathetic_ganglia

    Parasympathetic ganglia are the autonomic ganglia of the parasympathetic nervous system. Most are small terminal ganglia or intramural ganglia, so named because they lie near or within (respectively) the organs they innervate. The exceptions are the four paired parasympathetic ganglia of the head and neck.
