paravertebral ganglion in dogs

Trunk ganglion which is part of a bilaterally paired set of sympathetic ganglia located anterior and lateral to the spinal cord. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the paravertebral ganglion is

Trunk ganglion which is part of a bilaterally paired set of sympathetic ganglia located anterior and lateral to the spinal cord. The atlas records it as a nerve at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the paravertebral ganglion is

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

What the paravertebral ganglion connects to

The atlas records 9 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of anatomical entity, sympathetic nervous system and trunk.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the paravertebral 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 of sympathetic trunk, ganglion trunci sympathetici, ganglion trunci sympathici, sympathetic chain ganglion, ganglia of sympathetic trunk and ganglia trunci sympathici, and 3 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.
