Anatomical terminology
Structure
Ganglia are primarily made up of somata
and dendritic structures which are bundled
or connected. Ganglia often interconnect
with other ganglia to form a complex
system of ganglia known as a plexus.
Ganglia provide relay points and
intermediary connections between
different neurological structures in the
body, such as the peripheral and central
nervous systems.
Basal ganglia
The term "ganglion" refers to the peripheral
nervous system.[4]
