| craniospinalia ganglia | A term collectively designating the sensory ganglia on the dorsal (posterior) roots of spinal nerves and on those cranial nerves that contain general sensory and taste fibres; also called encephalospinal ganglia. Synonym: craniospinalia ganglia. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| prevertebral ganglia | The sympathetic ganglia (coeliac, aorticorenal, superior and inferior mesenteric) lying in front of the vertebral column, as distinguished from the ganglia of the sympathetic trunk (paravertebral ganglia); these ganglia occur mostly around the origin of the major branches of the abdominal aorta; all are in the abdomino-pelvic cavity, concerned with innervation of abdomino-pelvic viscera. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sacral ganglia | Three or four ganglia on either side constituting, with the ganglion impar and the interganglionic rami, the pelvic portion of the sympathetic trunk. Synonym: ganglia sacralia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hypogastric ganglia | The parasympathetic ganglia scattered through the pelvic plexus on either side. Synonym: ganglia pelvina, hypogastric ganglia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| solar ganglia | The largest and highest group of prevertebral sympathetic ganglia, located on the superior part of the abdominal aorta, on either side of the origin of the coeliac artery; contains sympathetic neurons whose unmyelinated postganglionic axons innervate the stomach, liver, gallbladder, spleen, kidney, small intestine, and ascending and transverse colon. H Synonym: ganglia coeliaca, semilunar ganglion, solar ganglia, Vieussens' ganglia, Willis' centrum nervosum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sympathetic ganglia | Those ganglia of the autonomic nervous system that receive efferent fibres originating from preganglionic visceral motor neurons in the intermediolateral cell column of thoracic and upper lumbar spinal segments (T1-L2). On the basis of their location, the sympathetic ganglia can be classified as paravertebral ganglia (ganglia trunci sympathici) and prevertebral ganglia (ganglia coeliaca). See: autonomic nervous system. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intermediate ganglia | Small sympathetic ganglia most commonly found on the communicating branches in the cervical and lumbar region. Synonym: ganglia intermedia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thoracic ganglia | Ganglia, 11 or 12 on either side, at the level of the head of each rib, constituting with the interganglionic rami the thoracic portion of the sympathetic trunk. Synonym: ganglia thoracica. (05 Mar 2000) |
| extracranial ganglia | <anatomy, nerve> The lower of two sensory ganglion's on the glossopharyngeal nerve as it traverses the jugular foramen. Synonym: ganglion inferius nervi glossopharyngei, Andersch's ganglion, extracranial ganglia, ganglion extracraniale, petrosal ganglion, petrous ganglion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lumbar ganglia | Four or more ganglia on the medial border of the psoas major muscle on either side; they form, with the sacral and coccygeal ganglia and their interganglionic rami, the abdominopelvic sympathetic trunk. Synonym: ganglia lumbalia. (05 Mar 2000) |
