General term for a group of nerve cell bodies located outside the central nervous system, in a knotlike mass.
Group of nerve cells found outside the central nervous system, or a benign tumor on muscle connective tissue or on a tendon
A neural control center that integrates messages from different receptor cells and coordinates the activity of different muscle fibers; plural: ganglia.
Greek = swelling, referring to a peripheral collection of nerve cells, adjective - ganglionic.
1. a group of nerve cell bodies which are outside the central nervous system. 2. a swelling which occurs in the peripheral nervous system.
mass of nerve tissue comprised mostly of nerve cell bodies; a cystic tumor in a tendon sheath.
a group of nerve cell bodies that lie outside the central nervous system; plural, ganglia
A mass of nervous tissue, composed principally of nerve-cell bodies, usually lying outside the central nervous system.

refers to a group of functionally related cell bodies in the PNS
(GANG-lee-ohn) A cluster of neuron cell bodies located outside the central nervous system.
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.
Discrete mass of cell bodies and neurites surrounded by a connective tissue sheath. In invertebrates, the central nervous system frequently consists of a chain of ganglia joined by connectives. In vertebrates, ganglia are always located outside the central nervous system. Also an obsolete term for a brain nucleus, now used only for basal ganglia

a fluid-filled lump or cyst that forms beneath the skin, often on the back of the wrist or in the palm or near finger joints
a group of perikarya of neurons occurring in the peripheral and central nervous systems
a harmless cyst that grows beneath the skin on the hand or on the foot
a lump that appears on the foot as a result of a fluid-filled swelling of a joint lining or tendon
a mass or swelling developing on a tendon, usually on the wrist
an enlargement occurring somewhere in the course of a nerve , and containing nerve cells in addition to nerve filaments
an enlargment occuring somewhere in the course of a nerve , and containing nerve cells in addition to nerve filaments

a sac of fluid that grows out of a joint
a small, harmless cyst , or sac of fluid, that sometimes develops in the wrist
a small swelling which may appear near any joint or tendon (sinew)
a small, usually hard bump above a tendon or in the capsule that encloses a joint
a swelling that is filled with thick jelly like material
a thin sac filled with a jelly-like fluid, usually near a joint or tendon sheath
Benign tumour of synovium arising from the joint or tendon sheath.
In the PNS, a collection of neuron cell bodies. See Nuclei.
A collection of nerve cell bodies located outside the brain or spinal cord
A collection of nerve cells associated for the performance of some particular function, but not necessarily capable of coordinating nerve impulses. The term is an anatomical one, and no physiological significance is implied in its use.
Mass of nerve cells. Also, a cyst in a tendon.
Cluster of nerve cells and associated glial cells located outside the central nervous system.
a cluster of nerve cells.
the antomical ball formed by a group of peripheral neuron cell bodies (plural ganglia).
A ganglion is a mass of nerve tissue outside the central nervous system (in any animal). Some of the larger dinosaurs (some sauropods and Stegosaurus) may have had a ganglion at the base of the tail.
a cluster of nerve tissue primarily composed of neuron cell bodies.
a swelling on the course of a nerve. Usually corresponds to a collection of nerve cells.
A mass of nervous tissue composed principally of nerve-cell bodies and lying outside the brain or spinal cord
(plural, ganglia) A cluster (functional group) of nerve cell bodies in a centralized nervous system.
a fluid-filled cyst attached to a tendon sheath or joint
A group of nerve cells forming a nerve center, especially one located outside the brain or spinal cord.
These are the singular and plural for a collection of nerve cell bodies (a nerve center) just like a node in an electricity grid
A swelling or knot from which nerves are given off as from a centre. 81
A ganglion is any structure containing a collection of nerve cell bodies in the central or peripheral nervous system.
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 group of nerve cell bodies in the Central Nervous System (CNS) or Peripheral Nervous System (PNS). (Plural form: ganglia.)
a mass of nerve cells[close window
a benign cyst enclosing a mucinous fluid and leant against a joint, with which a communication generally exists.
a bundle of nervous tissue containing many synapses and cell-bodies and contained within a sheath of connective tissue. Most ganglia (plural) occur outside of the central nervous system.
A swelling of the nervous tissue on the dorsal nerve route within the spine which contains nerve cells.
A group of nerve cell bodies clustered together in a uniform mass outside of but often close to the brain or spinal chord. Nerves run to or from the ganglia in passage to or from the brain to specific sites on the body.
a group of neuron bodies (not in the brain or spinal cord)
Collection of neuron cell bodies found outside the CNS
