glossopharyngeal ganglion in dogs
The group of neuron cell bodies associated with the ninth cranial nerve. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the glossopharyngeal ganglion is
The group of neuron cell bodies associated with the ninth cranial nerve. The atlas records it as a nerve at the organ scale in the dog.
Where the glossopharyngeal 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 glossopharyngeal ganglion connects to
The atlas records 4 typed relationships for it, across 2 kinds of connection. a kind of anatomical structure and cranial ganglion.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the glossopharyngeal 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
