A ganglion is any structure containing a collection of nerve cell bodies in the central or peripheral nervous system
A group of nerve cell bodies in the Central Nervous System (CNS) or Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) (Plural form: ganglia )
Usually, a group of nerve cell bodies lying outside of the central nervous system (CNS); also used for one group of nerve cell bodies within the CNS - the basal ganglia
A ganglion is a collection of neuronal cell bodies In the leech, the central nervous system consists of the brain and 21 segmental ganglia connected by the ventral nerve cord Each ganglion contains 350 neurons, of which 14 respond to touch and pressure
A globular, hard, indolent tumor, situated somewhere on a tendon, and commonly formed by the effusion of a viscid fluid into it; called also weeping sinew
benign tumor of synovium arising from the joint or tendon sheath
A node, or gland in the lymphatic system; as, a lymphatic ganglion
In the PNS, a collection of neuron cell bodies See Nuclei
plural: From the Greek for knot A collection of neurons in the PNS?; e g , dorsal ganglia, root ganglia which contain the cell bodies of sensory axons entering the spinal cord The basal ganglia are the only nuclei in the brain called ganglia
A cluster of neuronal cell bodies, usually located outside the central nervous system in vertebrates Invertebrate central nervous systems consist of a series of ganglia connected by nerve bundles
A mass of nerve tissue containing nerve cells external to the brain or spinal cord Nerves run to or from the ganglia in passage to or from the brain to specific sites on the body
a collection of nerve cells usually found outside the central nervous system, from which axons arrive from the periphery and proceed to the spinal cord or brain
Aggregate of nerve-cell bodies outside the central nervous system (CNS). The spinal ganglion contains the nerve-cell bodies of the nerve fibres that carry impulses toward the CNS (afferent neurons in dorsal root ganglia) or away from it (efferent neurons in ventral root ganglia)
a cluster of nerve tissue primarily composed of neuron cell bodies

basal ganglion
Any of several masses of gray matter embedded in the cerebral hemispheres that are involved in the regulation of voluntary movement. Also called basal nucleus
basal ganglion
any of several masses of subcortical gray matter at the base of each cerebral hemisphere that seem to be involved in the regulation of voluntary movement
ganglia
Aggregates of nerve cell bodies; these cause swellings on nerves Peripheral nervous system: All nerves and ganglia outside the central nervous system
ganglia
a mass of nerve tissue (gray matter) or a group of nerve cell bodies Also refers to specific groups within the brain or spinal cord (as basal ganglia) Ganglion is the singular of ganglia
ganglia
Colonies of neurons outside the brain and spinal cord sometimes acting to control local functions
