In neuroanatomy, the cranial nerve ganglia are either parasympathetic or sensory ganglia of the cranial nerves .[1]
Parasympathetic
The four cranial autonomic ganglia are:
However, the autonomic ganglia of the Vagus nerve (X) form lie outside of the head, frequently within the organ which they innervate. In the case of the gut, for example, the autonomic neurones do not form distinct ganglia, but rather the preganglionic neurons synapse within the Enteric nervous system.
Sensory
- Trigeminal ganglion
- Spiral ganglion
- Vestibular ganglion
- Geniculate ganglion
- Superior (jugular) ganglia of glossopharyngeal
- Inferior (petrosal) ganglia of glossopharyngeal
- Superior (rostral) ganglion of vagus nerve
- Inferior (nodose) ganglion of vagus nerve
