cranial ganglion in dogs

The groups of nerve cell bodies associated with the twelve cranial nerves. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the cranial ganglion is

The groups of nerve cell bodies associated with the twelve cranial nerves. The atlas records it as a nerve at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the cranial ganglion is

It sits in the head, within the nervous system. Only the region is known. The position shown is somewhere plausible inside it and nothing more.

What the cranial ganglion connects to

The atlas records 11 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of head.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the cranial 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.
