paravertebral ganglion

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 human body.

Where the paravertebral ganglion is

It sits in the trunk, within the nervous system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the paravertebral ganglion connects to

The atlas records 9 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of sympathetic trunk 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.

Questions

Where is the paravertebral ganglion?

It sits in the trunk, within the nervous system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What does the paravertebral ganglion connect to?

Part of: sympathetic trunk and trunk.

Is the paravertebral ganglion the same in other species?

Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
