| ganglion superius nervi vagi | <anatomy, nerve> A small sensory ganglion on the vagus as it traverses the jugular foramen. Synonym: ganglion superius nervi vagi, jugular ganglion. (05 Mar 2000) |

| ganglion terminale | One of the cells located along the terminal nerves, one of the scattered postganglionic autonomic neurons located in or close to the wall of the organ innervated; they are usually parasympathetic. Synonym: ganglion terminale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglion trigeminale | The semilunar-shaped ganglion containing the cells of origin of most of the sensory fibres of the trigeminal nerve. It is situated within the dural cleft on the cerebral surface of the petrous portion of the temporal bone and gives off the ophthalmic, maxillary, and part of the mandibular nerves. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ganglion tympanicum | A small ganglion on the tympanic nerve during its passage through the petrous portion of the temporal bone. Synonym: ganglion tympanicum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglion vertebrale | A small ganglion located along the sympathetic trunk or one of the nerve cords connecting the middle cervical ganglion and the cervicothoracic ganglion; it usually lies near the vertebral artery. Synonym: ganglion vertebrale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglion vestibulare | A collection of bipolar nerve cell bodies forming a swelling on the vestibular part of the eighth nerve in the internal acoustic meatus; consists of a superior part and an inferior part connected by a narrow isthmus. Synonym: ganglion vestibulare, Scarpa's ganglion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gasserian ganglion | The semilunar-shaped ganglion containing the cells of origin of most of the sensory fibres of the trigeminal nerve. It is situated within the dural cleft on the cerebral surface of the petrous portion of the temporal bone and gives off the ophthalmic, maxillary, and part of the mandibular nerves. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ramus sympatheticus ad ganglion submandibulare | An alternate term for sympathetic branch to submandibular ganglion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| geniculate ganglion | The sensory ganglion of the facial (7th cranial) nerve. The geniculate ganglion cells send central processes to the brainstem and peripheral processes to the taste buds in the anterior tongue, the soft palate, and the skin of the external auditory meatus and the mastoid process. (12 Dec 1998) |
| parasympathetic root of ciliary ganglion | A branch of the oculomotor nerve supplying parasympathetic preganglionic nerve fibres to the ciliary ganglion. Synonym: radix parasympathica ganglii ciliaris, radix oculomotoria ganglii ciliaris, motor root of ciliary ganglion, oculomotor root of ciliary ganglion, radix brevis ganglii ciliaris, short root of ciliary ganglion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vertebral ganglion | A small ganglion located along the sympathetic trunk or one of the nerve cords connecting the middle cervical ganglion and the cervicothoracic ganglion; it usually lies near the vertebral artery. Synonym: ganglion vertebrale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carotid ganglion | A small ganglionic swelling on filaments from the internal carotid plexus, lying on the undersurface of the carotid artery in the cavernous sinus. Synonym: Bock's ganglion, Laumonier's ganglion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vestibular ganglion | A collection of bipolar nerve cell bodies forming a swelling on the vestibular part of the eighth nerve in the internal acoustic meatus; consists of a superior part and an inferior part connected by a narrow isthmus. Synonym: ganglion vestibulare, Scarpa's ganglion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glandular branches of submandibular ganglion | Branches of submandibular ganglion conveying postsynaptic parasympathetic fibres to the submandibular and sublingual glands. Synonym: rami ganglii submandibularis, rami glandulares ganglii submandibularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Meckel's ganglion | A small parasympathetic ganglion in the upper part of the pterygopalatine fossa whose postsynaptic fibres supply the lacrimal, nasal, palatine and pharyngeal glands. Synonym: ganglion pterygopalatinum, Meckel's ganglion, nasal ganglion, sphenopalatine ganglion. (05 Mar 2000) |
