The stellate ganglion is a collection of nerve cell bodies located in the neck, typically formed by the fusion of the inferior cervical ganglion and the first thoracic ganglion. It is part of the sympathetic nervous system and plays a crucial role in regulating various autonomic functions, including heart rate, blood vessel dilation, and sweating. Stimulating the stellate ganglion can have therapeutic applications, particularly in managing pain and certain vascular conditions.
