This page covers biological details of component Jugular Ganglion. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

• Top-down path to region: Peripheral Nervous System -> Sensory Ganglia (PNS.SG) -> Sensory Exteroception Ganglia (PN.SG.SE) -> Jugular Ganglion (LPC.PN.SG.JUG) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: sensory ganglion
• Quality: L0
• Brain area: Lower Brain - Peripheral Control Area (LPC)
• Area circuit: Taste Senses (STS)
• Role: sensory.ganglion
• Function: Integration of external auditory meatus (auricular branch), cranial meninges (meningeal branch), and external surface of tympanic membrane
• Comments: CN X, superior ganglion of vagus nerve
• Notes to function:
  • to Sensory Trigeminal Nucleus
