autonomic ganglion in dogs

Ganglion that has dendrites that form a junction between autonomic nerves originating from the central nervous system and autonomic nerves innervating their target organs in the periphery. There are two subtypes, sympathetic ganglion and parasympathetic ganglion. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the autonomic ganglion is

Ganglion that has dendrites that form a junction between autonomic nerves originating from the central nervous system and autonomic nerves innervating their target organs in the periphery. There are two subtypes, sympathetic ganglion and parasympathetic ganglion. The atlas records it as a nerve at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the autonomic ganglion is

It sits within the nervous system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.

What the autonomic ganglion connects to

The atlas records 4 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of autonomic nervous system.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the autonomic ganglion. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as autonomic nervous system ganglion, ganglion of autonomic nervous system, ganglion of visceral nervous system, visceral nervous system ganglion and ganglion autonomicum. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Is the autonomic ganglion the same in other species?

This page describes the dog. The human record of the same structure sits beside it on /compare, over one shared model rather than two atlases built separately.
