trigeminal ganglion

The cranial ganglion that is associated with and extends fibers into the trigeminal nerve. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the trigeminal ganglion is

The cranial ganglion that is associated with and extends fibers into the trigeminal nerve. The atlas records it as a nerve at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the trigeminal ganglion is

It sits in the head, within the nervous system. Not positioned individually, and containment is not asserted either. Drawn near structures of the same kind, which is a weak claim about location.

What the trigeminal ganglion connects to

The atlas records 4 typed relationships for it, across 2 kinds of connection. a kind of anatomical structure, cranial ganglion and sensory ganglion.

Supply and innervation

Arterial supply: cavernous artery.

Also called

Also recorded as 5th ganglion, Gasserian ganglion, fifth ganglion, ganglion of trigeminal complex, semilunar ganglion and trigeminal V ganglion, and 9 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the trigeminal ganglion?

It sits in the head, within the nervous system. Not positioned individually, and containment is not asserted either. Drawn near structures of the same kind, which is a weak claim about location.

What does the trigeminal ganglion connect to?

A kind of: anatomical structure, cranial ganglion and sensory ganglion.

Is the trigeminal 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.
