Question

What is the purpose of a ganglion?

Answer 1

Ganglion:

1. A ganglion is a grouping of nerve cells that exist outside of the central nervous system.
2. Ganglia are ovoid structures that are supported by connective tissue and contain the cell bodies of neurons and glial cells. One neuron enters and another exits the ganglia, acting as a relay station.
3. Ganglia serve as relay points and connective tissue between various neurological structures in the body, including both peripheral and central nervous systems.
