ganglion in dogs

A biological tissue mass, most commonly a mass of nerve cell bodies. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the ganglion is

A biological tissue mass, most commonly a mass of nerve cell bodies. The atlas records it as a nerve at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the ganglion is

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

What the ganglion connects to

The atlas records 8 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of nervous system.

Supply and innervation

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

Is the 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.
