parasympathetic ganglion in dogs

Ganglion containing neurons that receive innervation from parasympathetic neurons in the central nervous system and subserves parasympathetic functions through innervation of smooth muscle, cardiac muscle and glands. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the parasympathetic ganglion is

Ganglion containing neurons that receive innervation from parasympathetic neurons in the central nervous system and subserves parasympathetic functions through innervation of smooth muscle, cardiac muscle and glands. The atlas records it as a nerve at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the parasympathetic ganglion is

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

What the parasympathetic ganglion connects to

The atlas records 11 typed relationships for it, across 5 kinds of connection. part of parasympathetic nervous system.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the parasympathetic 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 ganglion parasympathicum. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the parasympathetic ganglion?

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

What does the parasympathetic ganglion connect to?

Is the parasympathetic 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.
