| ganglionic branches of maxillary nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The ganglionic branches, two short sensory branches of the maxillary nerve in the pterygopalatine fossa, the fibres of which pass through the pterygopalatine ganglion without synapse. Synonym: radix sensoria ganglii pterygopalatini, rami ganglionici nervi maxillaris, rami ganglionares, nervi pterygopalatini, nervi sphenopalatini, pterygopalatine nerves, sensory root of pterygopalatine ganglion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglionic branch of internal carotid artery | <anatomy, artery> Branch to trigeminal ganglion; a small branch of the cavernous part of the internal carotid artery to the trigeminal ganglion. Synonym: ramus ganglii trigeminalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglionic crest | A group of embryonic cells that separate from the neural plate during neurulation and migrate to give several different lineages of adult cells: the spinal and autonomic ganglia, the glial cells of the peripheral nervous system and nonneuronal cells, such as chromaffin cells, melanocytes and some haemopoietic cells. (18 Nov 1997) |
| ganglionic layer of cerebellar cortex | The layer of Purkinje cells between the molecular and granular layers of the cerebellar cortex. Synonym: stratum neuronorum piriformium, ganglionic layer of cerebellar cortex, layer of piriform neurons, Purkinje's layer, stratum gangliosum cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglionic layer of cerebral cortex | Layer 5 of the cortex cerebri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglionic layer of optic nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The inner layer of multipolar neurons in the retina consisting of the relatively large neurons that give rise to the fibres of the optic nerve. Synonym: stratum ganglionare nervi optici. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglionic layer of retina | The intermediate layer of neurons in the retina composed largely of bipolar cells. Synonym: internal nuclear layer of retina, stratum ganglionare retinae, stratum nucleare internum retinae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglionic motor neuron | See: motor neuron. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglionic saliva | Submaxillary saliva obtained by direct irritation of the gland. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglionic stimulants | Agents that mimic neural transmission by stimulation of the nicotinic receptors on postganglionic autonomic neurons. Drugs that indirectly augment ganglionic transmission by increasing the release or slowing the breakdown of acetylcholine or by non-nicotinic effects on postganglionic neurons are not included here nor are the non-specific cholinergic agonists. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ciliary ganglionic plexus | An autonomic plexus lying on the ciliary muscle, derived from the oculomotor, trigeminal, and sympathetic. Synonym: plexus gangliosus ciliaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
