| ganglioblast | An embryonic cell from which develop ganglion cells. Origin: Ganglion + G. Blastos, germ (05 Mar 2000) |
| gangliocyte | <anatomy> A nerve cell which is not located within the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) but is often associated with a ganglion (a mass or knot of nerve cells). (09 Oct 1997) |
| gangliocytoma | <tumour> A rare lesion that contains neuronal (ganglion) cells in a sparse glial stoma. Synonym: central ganglioneuroma. Origin: Ganglion + G. Kytos, cell, + -oma, tumour (05 Mar 2000) |

| ganglioglioma | <oncology, tumour> A type of tumour made up of mature gangliocytes (a type of nerve cell) and neuroglial cells (insulation and support cells of the nervous system). (09 Oct 1997) |
| gangliolysis | The dissolution or breaking up of a ganglion. Percutaneous radiofrequency gangliolysis, gangliolysis produced by radiofrequency currents applied to a ganglion by a needle passed through the skin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglioma | <dermatology, tumour> A tumour (neuroma) containing ganglion cells, often located in the hands, wrists or tops of the feet. (27 Sep 1997) |
| ganglion | 1. A knot or knotlike mass. 2. <anatomy> A general term for a group of nerve cell bodies located outside the central nervous system, occasionally applied to certain nuclear groups within the brain or spinal cord, for example basal ganglia. 3. <oncology, tumour> A benign cystic tumour occurring on a aponeurosis or tendon, as in the wrist or dorsum of the foot, it consists of a thin fibrous capsule enclosing a clear mucinous fluid.

| ganglion cell | <pathology> A type of interneuron that conveys information from the retinal bipolar, horizontal and amacrine cells to the brain. (18 Nov 1997) |
| ganglion cells of dorsal spinal root | Pseudounipolar nerve cell bodies in the ganglia of the dorsal spinal nerve roots; the sensory spinal nerves are composed of the peripheral axon branches of these sensory ganglion cell's, whereas the central axon branch of each such cell enters the spinal cord as a component of the dorsal root. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglion cells of retina | The nerve cell's of the retina whose central processes (fibres) form the optic nerve; their peripheral processes synapse with the bipolar cell's and through them with the rod and cone cell's; these cell bodies are round or flask-shaped and vary considerably in size. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglion cervicale inferius | Inferior-most of the three ganglia of the cervical portion of the sympathetic trunk, occurring at the C7 vertebral level. Most commonly, it is fused to the first thoracic sympathetic ganglion to form a stellate ganglion. Synonym: ganglion cervicale inferius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglion cervicale medium | A sympathetic ganglion, of small size and sometimes absent; located at the level of the cricoid cartilage. Synonym: ganglion cervicale medium. (05 Mar 2000) |
