plexus
The autonomic ganglia of the parasympathetic system are called terminal ganglia or intramural ganglia. They are located near or within the target organs, allowing for more localized and specific control of parasympathetic functions.
In the peripheral nervous system, which is outside the central nervous system (CNS), collections of nerve cell bodies are called ganglia.
These collections are called ganglia. Ganglia often interconnect with other ganglia to form a complex system of ganglia known as a plexus.

The Nervous System
The ganglia in or near the target organ are called intramural ganglia. These ganglia are part of the autonomic nervous system and are responsible for regulating local functions within the target organ.
Yes, collections of neuron cell bodies associated with nerves in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) are known as ganglia. Ganglia can contain cell bodies of sensory neurons (dorsal root ganglia) or autonomic neurons (autonomic ganglia) that help relay information to and from the central nervous system.
There are 12 major groups of ganglia (ganglions) in a cockroach central nervous system. Some are pairs of ganglia, while others are complex groups.
True
No, ganglia are not organs. They are clusters of nerve cell bodies located outside of the central nervous system. Ganglia are part of the peripheral nervous system and play a role in transmitting signals between the central nervous system and various parts of the body.
A cluster of many nerve cells outside the central nervous system is known as a ganglion (plural ganglia). A cluster of nerve cells within the central nervous system is known as a nucleus (plural nuclei).
Ganglia. Ganglia are collections of nerve cell bodies found outside the central nervous system, typically located along the peripheral nerves. They can be sensory ganglia (containing cell bodies of sensory neurons) or autonomic ganglia (containing cell bodies of autonomic neurons).
