  1. Ganglion (ganglia)
    1. Collection of Nerve Cell bodies (soma) attached to Neuron axons that form nerve tracts
    2. Ganglia are the Peripheral Nerve versions of the CNS neural neuclei

Ontology: Ganglia (C0017067)

Definition (FMA) Subdivision of neural tree (organ) which primarily consists of cell bodies of neurons located outside the neuraxis (brain and spinal cord); together with a nucleus and its associated nerve, it constitutes a neural tree (organ). Examples: spinal ganglion, trigeminal ganglion, superior cervical ganglion, celiac ganglion, inferior hypogastric (pelvic) ganglion.

Ontology: Structure of nerve plexus (C0501403)

Definition (FMA) Anatomical junction where subdivisions of two or more neural trees interconnect with one another to form a network through which nerve fibers of the constituent nerve trees become regrouped; together with other nerve plexuses, nerves and ganglia, it constitutes the peripheral nervous system. Examples: cervical nerve plexus, brachial nerve plexus, sacral nerve plexus.
